PREFACE. 



THE SELECT PSALMS constitute what may be 
called the Shortened Psalter in Mr. Wesley's Sunday 
Service, published in 1784. It is a skillful abbreviation 
of the Psalms of David, as used for congregational read- 
ing by the Church of England. No Psalm is robbed of 
its identity ; and yet whole Psalms and parts of others are 
freely omitted to secure a more perfect aid to Christian 
Worship. 

The present edition is in response to a demand for the 
work, which has become quite decided since the merits 
of Mr. Wesley's arrangement have been more clearly re- 
called. In preparing it, the substitution of King James's 
Version for that of the English Prayer-Book was consid- 
ered imperative. Notwithstanding this change of version, 
the marks of Mr. Wesley's rare judgment are effectually 
preserved. The Psalms are divided into Morning and 
Evening Lessons for every day in the Month ; those for 
the thirtieth day being also appointed for use when 
service falls on the thirty-first. The Minister has, there- 
fore, only to remember the Day of the Month, and suit- 
able Lessons for this part of the service are always at 
hand. 

Following the Psalms for Morning and Evening, will 



2 Preface. 

be found thirty additional Selections of Psalms and 
Other Scriptures, including certain valued parts of 
the Psalter omitted by Mr. Wesley; from which, at times, 
the Minister will prefer to read instead of the Psalms 
for the Day. 

These are for the most part integral portions of Script- 
ure, and adapted to a wide diversity of occasions. 

Mr. Wesley's urgency to have the Great Festivals 
of the Christian Year observed in the Church has not 
been forgotten. His tables of Proper Psalms on Certain 
Days, and Proper Lessons for Particular Days, will 
greatly facilitate this object. 

Attention is also invited to the Catechism, now pub- 
lished for the first time in its true relation to the Ritual 
and Economy of the Church. Some valuable extracts, 
mainly from the Sunday Service, complete the volume ; 
and altogether the Editor hopes the Compilation will 
prove a useful Hand-book of Methodist Worship. 

He counts it a great honor to have the cordial appro- 
bation of Bishop Edward G. Andrews, D.D., LL.D. ; and 
he also returns thanks to a number of brethren who are 
aware of the aid their judgment has afforded him. 

Charles S. Harrower. 



EPISCOPAL NOTE. 



HPHOUGH marked throughout by excellent judg- 
ment and taste, the SUNDAY Service prepared 
by Mr. Wesley in 1784 for American Methodists 
never gained general acceptance among them, and 
soon fell entirely out of use. The simple order of 
worship to which they were accustomed better 
suited the conditions of the rising Church, and for 
nearly a century was almost uniformly observed 
among us. 

Recently a natural desire to dignify and enrich 
public worship has arisen in many quarters. It has 
led not only to a bewildering diversity in the services 
of our Church, but often also to the substitution 
of unseemly and even grotesque individual conceits 
for a harmonious, reasonable, and historic order. 
Caprice, unrestrained by knowledge or experience, 
seems often to fix the succession of hymn, doxology, 
lesson, and prayer. 

The General Conference of 1888, taking note of 
the desire above spoken of, and also of these evils, 
after due deliberation established and enjoined a uni- 
form order of public worship. This order adopts 



SpiscopaIi Note. 



some of the better usages recently risen among 
us. It does not forbid particular churches to inter- 
weave with its own unchangeable frame-work of 
worship additional matter, as the Creed, the Gloria 
Patri, and the Anthem. And it expressly permits 
the use of responsive reading. 

Fortunately, at this point the Church can avail it- 
self of the wisdom of its venerated founder, Mr. 
Wesley. In this volume are set forth his admirable 
selections of psalms for every day of the month, 
together with other selections for special occasions. 
With these are associated other valuable matter, 
drawn in part from the Sunday Service, and in 
part from the authorized standards of the Church. 
The editorial work has been done wisely and with 
a just valuation of the characteristics both of our 
particular church life and of that larger church life 
of which we are part. The volume may therefore 
be warmly commended to all who prize order, dig- 
nity, and a not too inflexible uniformity in the 
service of the sanctuary. 

Edward G. Andrews.

Psalm 1. 

DLESSED is the man that walketh not in the 
*-* counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way 
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 

But his delight is in the law of the LORD ; and 
in his law doth he meditate day and night. 

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers 
of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season ; 
his leaf also shall not wither ; and whatsoever he 
doeth shall prosper. 

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff 
which the wind driveth away. 

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the 
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the 
righteous. 

For the LORD knoweth the way of the right- 
eous : but the way of the ungodly shall perish. 

Psalm 2. 

\17HY do the heathen rage, and the people 
" Y imagine a vain thing? 
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the 



8 Psalms. The 1st Day. 

rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, 
and against his Anointed, saying, 

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away 
their cords from us. 

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh : the 
Lord shall have them in derision. 

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and 
vex them in his sore displeasure. 

Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Zion. 

I will declare the decree : the LORD hath said 
unto me, Thou art my Son ; this day have I begot- 
ten thee. 

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for 
thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the 
earth for thy possession. 

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron ; thou 
shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings : be instructed, 
ye judges of the earth. 

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with 
trembling. 

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish 
from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. 
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. 



(BmnitiQ Prater. 

Psalm 3. 

T ORD, how are they increased that trouble me ! 
*-^ many are they that rise up against me. 

Many there be which say of my soul, There is no 
help for him in God. 



The 1st Day. PSALMS. 



But thou, LORD, art a shield for me ; my 
glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 

I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he 
heard me out of his holy hill. 

I laid me down and slept ; I awaked ; for the 
LORD sustained me. 

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, 
that have set themselves against me round about. 

Arise, O LORD ; save me, O my God : for thou 
hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek 
bone ; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 

Salvation belongeth unto the LORD : thy blessing 
is upon thy people. 



Psalm 4. 

I T EAR me when I call, O God of my righteous- 
A A ness : thou hast enlarged me when I was in 
distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my 
glory into shame ? how long will ye love vanity, 
and seek after leasing? 

But know that the Lord hath set apart him that 
is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I 
call unto him. 

Stand in awe, and sin not : commune with your 
own heart upon your bed, and be still. 

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your 
trust in the Lord. 

There be many that say, Who will show us any 
good ? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy coun- 
tenance upon us. 



10 



Psalms. 



The 1st Day. 



Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than 
in the time that their corn and their wine in- 
creased. 

I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep : for 
thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety. 



Psalm 5. 

r^ IVE ear to my words, O LORD ; consider my 
^-^ meditation. 

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and 
my God : for unto thee will I pray. 

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O 
Lord ; in the morning will I direct my prayer 
unto thee, and will look up. 

For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in 
wickedness : neither shall evil dwell with thee. 

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight : thou 
hatest all workers of iniquity. 

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing : the 
Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the 
multitude of thy mercy : and in thy fear will I 
worship toward thy holy temple. 

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because 
of mine enemies ; make thy way straight before my 
face. 

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ; their 
inward part is very wickedness ; their throat is an 
open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue. 

Destroy thou them, O God ; let them fall by 
their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude 



The 2d Day. PSALMS, 1 1 

of their transgressions ; for they have rebelled 
against thee. 

But let all those that put their trust in thee 
rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou 
defendest thern : let them also that love thy name 
be joyful in thee. 

For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous ; with 
favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield. 







THE SECOND DAY. 

iilorning pramr. 
Psalm 6. 

LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither 
chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 

Have mercy upon me, O Lord ; for I am weak: 
O LORD, heal me ; for my bones are vexed. 

My soul is also sore vexed : but thou, O Lord, 
how long? 

Return, O LORD, deliver my soul : oh save me 
for thy mercies' sake. 

For in death there is no remembrance of thee : 
in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 

I am weary with my groaning ; all the night 
make I my bed to swim ; I water my couch with 
my tears. 

Mine eye is consumed because of grief ; it waxeth 
old because of all mine enemies. 

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity ; for 
the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 



12 PSALMS. The 2d Day. 

The Lord hath heard my supplication ; the 
LORD will receive my prayer. 

Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed : 
let them return and be ashamed suddenly. 



Psalm 7. 

'(~*\ LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust : 
^-^ save me from all them that persecute me, 
and deliver me : 

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in 
pieces, while there is none to deliver. 

O Lord my God, if I have done this ; if there 
be iniquity in my hands ; 

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at 
peace with me ; (yea, I have delivered him that 
without cause is mine enemy ;) 

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it ; 
yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, 
and lay mine honor in the dust. 

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself 
because of the rage of mine enemies : and awake for 
me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. 

So shall the congregation of the people compass 
thee about : for their sakes therefore return thou 
on high. 

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O 
LORD, according to my righteousness, and accord- 
ing to mine integrity that is in me. 

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an 
end; but establish the just: for the righteous God 
trieth the hearts and reins. 



The 2d Day. 



Psalms. 



My defence is of God, which saveth the upright 
in heart. 

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry 
with the wicked every day. 

If he turn not, he will whet his sword ; he hath 
bent his bow, and made it ready. 

He hath also prepared for him the instruments 
of death ; he ordaineth his arrows against the per- 
secutors. 

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath 
conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 

He made a pit, and -digged it, and is fallen into 
the ditch which he made. 

His mischief shall return upon his own head, 
and his violent dealing shall come down upon his 
own pate. 

I will praise the LORD according to his right- 
eousness : and will sing praise to the name of the 
Lord most high. 



(Keening J3raacr. 

Psalm 8. 
f\ LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name 
^-^ in all the earth ! who hast set thy glory above 
the heavens. 

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast 
thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, 
that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy 
fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast 
ordained ; 



14 PSALMS. The 2d Day. 

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and 
the son of man, that thou visitest him? 

For thou hast made him a little lower than the 
angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. 

Thou madest him to have dominion over the 
works of thy hands ; thou hast put all things under 
his feet : 

All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the 
field ; 

The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and 
whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. 

LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in 
all the earth ! 

Psalm 9. 

T WILL praise thee, O LORD, with my whole 
* heart ; I will show forth all thy marvelous works. 

1 will be glad and rejoice in thee : I will sing 
praise to thy name, O thou Most High. 

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall 
fall and perish at thy presence. 

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause ; 
thou satest in the throne judging right. 

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast de- 
stroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name 
for ever and ever. 

O thou enemy, destructions are come to a per- 
petual end : and thou hast destroyed cities ; their 
memorial is perished with them. 

But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath 
prepared his throne for judgment. 

And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he 



The 2d Day. PSALMS. 15 

shall minister judgment to the people in upright- 
ness. 

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, 
a refuge in times of trouble. 

And they that know thy name will put their trust 
in thee : for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them 
that seek thee. 

Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion : 
declare among the people his doings. 

When he maketh inquisition for blood, he re- 
membereth them : he forgetteth not the cry of the 
humble. 

Have mercy upon me, O Lord ; consider my 
trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou 
that liftest me up from the gates of death : 

That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates 
of the daughter of Zion : I will rejoice in thy sal- 
vation. 

The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they 
made : in the net which they hid is their own foot 
taken. 

The LORD is known by the judgment which he 
executeth : the wicked is snared in the work of his 
own hands. 

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the 
nations that forget God. 

For the needy shall not always be forgotten : the 
expectation of the poor shall not perish forever. 

Arise, O Lord ; let not man prevail : let the 
heathen be judged in thy sight. 

Put them in fear, O Lord : that the nations may 
know themselves to be but men. 



16 PSALMS. The 3d Day. 

THE THIRD DAY. 

Jllorning JJrager. 

Psalm 10. 

V\ 7HY standest thou afar off, O LORD ? why hidest 
" * thou thyself in times of trouble? 

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: 
let them be taken in the devices that they have 
imagined. 

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and 
blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth. 

The wicked, through the pride of his counte- 
nance, will not seek after God : God is not in all 
his thoughts. 

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments 
are far above out of his sight : as for all his enemies, 
he puffeth at them. 

Arise, O Lord ; O God, lift up thine hand : for- 
get not the humble. 

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he 
hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. 

Thou hast seen it ; for thou beholdest mischief 
and spite, to requite it with thy hand : the poor 
committeth himself unto thee ; thou art the helper 
of the fatherless. 

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil 
man : seek out his wickedness till thou find none. 

The Lord is King for ever and ever : the heathen 
are perished out of his land. 

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble : 
thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine 
ear to hear : 



The 3d Day. PSALMS. 17 

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that 
the man of the earth may no more oppress. 



Psalm 11. 

TN the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my 

* soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain ? 

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make 
ready their arrow upon the string, that they may 
privily shoot at the upright in heart. 

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the 
righteous do ? 

The LORD is in his holy temple, the Lord's 
throne is in heaven : his eyes behold, his eyelids try, 
the children of men. 

The LORD trieth the righteous : but the wicked 
and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and 
brimstone, and a horrible tempest : this shall be the 
portion of their cup. 

For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness ; 
his countenance doth behold the upright. 

Psalm 12. 

TJELP, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth ; for 

* * the faithful fail from among the children of 
men. 

They speak vanity every one with his neighbor : 
with flattering lips and with a double heart do they 
speak. 

The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the 
tongue that speaketh proud things : 



18 Psalms. The 3d Day. 

Who have said, With. our tongue will we prevail ; 
our lips are our own : who is lord over us ? 

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing 
of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD ; 1 
will set him in safety from him that puffeth at 
him. 

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver 
tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 

Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt pre- 
serve them from this generation forever. 

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest 
men are exalted. 



Psalm 13. 

T T OW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord ? for 
* A ever ? how long wilt thou hide thy face 
from me? 

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having 
sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine 
enemy be exalted over me ? 

Consider and hear me, O Lord my God : lighten 
mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death ; 

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against 
him ; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am 
moved. 

But I have trusted in thy mercy ; my heart shall 
rejoice in thy salvation. 

I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt 
bountifully with me.

Psalm 15. 
T ORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle ? who 
^ shall dwell in thy holy hill? 

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh right- 
eousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 

He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor 
doeth evil to his neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach 
against his neighbor. 

In whose eyes a vile person is contemned ; but 
he honoreth them that fear the Lord. He that 
sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 

He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor 
taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth 
these things shall never be moved. 

Psalm 16. 
PRESERVE me, O God: for in thee do I put 






my trust. 



my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou 
art my Lord : my goodness extendeth not to thee ; 

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the 
excellent, in whom is all my delight. 

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten 
after another god : their drink-offerings of blood 
will I not offer, nor take up their names into my 
lips. 

The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and 
of my cup : thou maintainest my lot. 

The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places ; 
yea, I have a goodly heritage. 

1 will bless the LORD, who hath given me coun- 
sel : my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 



20 Psalms. The 4th Day. 

I have set the Lord always- before me: because 
he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoic- 
eth : my flesh also shall rest in hope. 

For thou will not leave my soul in hell ; neither 
wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 

Thou wilt show me the path of life : in thy pres- 
ence is fullness of joy ; at thy right hand there are 
pleasures for evermore.

Psalm 17. 

TJ EAR the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry ; 
* * give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of 
feigned lips. 

Let my sentence come forth from thy presence ; 
let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. 

Thou hast proved mine heart ; thou hast visited 
me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find 
nothing: I am purposed that my mouth shall not 
transgress. 

Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy 
lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 

Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my foot- 
steps slip not. 

I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, 
O God : incline thine ear unto me, and hear my 
speech. 



The 4th Day. PSALMS. 21 

Show thy marvelous loving-kindness, O thou that 
savest by thy right hand them which put their trust 
in thee from those that rise up against them. 

Keep me as the apple of the eye ; hide me under 
the shadow of thy wings. 

Arise, O Lord, disappoint him, cast him down : 
deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy 
sword : 

From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from 
men of the world, which have their portion in this 
life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treas- 
ure : they are full of children, and leave the rest of 
their substance to their babes. 

As for me, I will behold thy face in righteous 
ness : I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy 
likeness. 

Psalm 18. — Part 1. 

T WILL love thee, O LORD, my strength. 
* The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my 
deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will 
trust ; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, 
and my high tower. 

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be 
praiseol : so shall I be saved from mine enemies. 

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the 
floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 

The sorrows of hell compassed me about : the 
snares of death prevented me. 

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried 
unto my God : he heard my voice out of his temple, 
and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 



22 Psalms. The 4th Day. 

Then the earth shook and trembled ; the founda- 
tions also of the hills moved and were shaken, be- 
cause he was wroth. 

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and 
fire out of his mouth devoured : coals were kindled 
by it. 

He bowed the heavens also, and came down : and 
darkness was under his feet. 

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly : yea, he 
did fly upon the wings of the wind. 

He made darkness his secret place ; his pavilion 
round about him were dark waters and thick clouds 
of the skies. 

At the brightness that was before him his thick 
clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire. 

The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the 
Highest gave his voice ; hailstones and coals of fire. 

Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them ; 
and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 

Then the channels of waters were seen, and the 
foundations of the world were discovered at thy 
rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy 
nostrils. 

He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out 
of many waters. 

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and 
from them which hated me : for they were too 
strong for me. 

They prevented me in the day of my calamity : 
but the Lord was my stay. 

He brought me forth also into a large place ; he 
delivered me, because he delighted in me. 



The 4th Day. PSALMS. 23 

The LORD rewarded me according to my right- 
eousness ; according to the cleanness of my hands 
hath he recompensed me. 

For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have 
not wickedly departed from my God. 

For all his judgments were before me, and I did 
not put away his statutes from me. 

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself 
from mine iniquity. 

Therefore hath the Lord recompensed me ac- 
cording to my righteousness, according to the clean- 
ness of my hands in his eyesight. 



Psalm 18.— Part 2. 

'"THOU wilt light my candle: the LORD my God 
will enlighten my darkness. 

As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the 
Lord is tried : he is a buckler to all those that trust 
in him. 

For who is God save the Lord ? or who is a rock 
save our God ? 

It is God that girdeth me with strength, and 
maketh my way perfect. 

He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth 
me upon my high places. 

He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of 
steel is broken by mine arms. 

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salva-

tion : and thy right hand hath holden me up, and 
thy gentleness hath made me great. 

Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my 
feet did not slip. 

The LORD liveth ; and blessed be my Rock ; and 
let the God of my salvation be exalted. 

He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou 
liftest me up above those that rise up against me : 
thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 

Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, 
among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy 
name. 

Psalm 19. 

THE heavens declare the glory of God ; and the 
firmament showeth his handiwork. 

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto 
night showeth knowledge. 

There is no speech nor language, where their 
voice is not heard. 

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and 
their words to the end of the world. In them hath 
he set a tabernacle for the sun, 

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his 
chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a 
race. 

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, 
and his circuit unto the ends of it : and there is 
nothing hid from the heat thereof. 

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the 
soul : the testimony of the LORD is sure, making 
wise the simple. 



The 5th Day. 



Psalms. 



The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the 
heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, en- 
lightening the eyes. 

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: 
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous 
altogether. 

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than 
much fine gold : sweeter also than honey and the 
honey comb. 

Moreover by them is thy servant warned : and in 
keeping of them there is great reward. 

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me 
from secret faults. 

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous 
sins ; let them not have dominion over me : then 
shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the 
great transgression. 

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation 
of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my 
strength, and my redeemer.

he will hear him from his holy heaven with the sav-

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but 
we will remember the name of the LORD our God. 

They are brought down and fallen : but we are

thou didst deliver them. 

They cried unto thee, and were delivered : they 
trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 

But I am a worm, and no man ; a reproach of 
men, and despised of the people. 

All they that see me laugh me to scorn : they 
shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 

He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver 
him : let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 

Be not far from me ; for trouble is near : for there 
is none to help.

the midst of my bowels. 

My strength is dried up like a potsherd ; and my 
tongue cleaveth to my jaws ; and thou hast brought 
me into the dust of death. 

For dogs have compassed me : the assembly of 
the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my 
hands and my feet. 

I may tell all my bones : they look and stare 
upon me. 

They part my garments among them, and cast 
lots upon my vesture. 

But be not thou far from me, O Lord : O my 
strength, haste thee to help me. 

Deliver my soul from the sword ; my darling 
from the power of the dog. 

Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast 
heard me from the horns cf the unicorns.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied : they shall 
praise the LORD that seek him : your heart shall 
live forever. 

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn 
unto the Lord : and all the kindreds of the nations 
shall worship before thee. 

For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the 
governor among the nations. 

All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and wor- 
ship : all they that go down to the dust shall bow 
before him : and none can keep alive his own soul. 

A seed shall serve him ; it shall be accounted to 
the Lord for a generation. 

They shall come, and shall declare his righteous-

done this. 

Psalm 23.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the 
shadow of death, I will fear no evil : for thou art

Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed : let 
them be ashamed which transgress without cause. 

Show me thy ways, O LORD ; teach me thy 
paths. 

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me : for thou 
art the God of my salvation ; on thee do I wait all 
the day. 

Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy 
loving-kindnesses ; for they have been ever of old. 

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my 
transgressions : according to thy mercy remember 
thou me for thy goodness' sake, O Lord. 

Good and upright is the LORD : therefore will he 
teach sinners in the way. 

The meek will he guide in judgment : and the 
meek will he teach his way. 

All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth 
unto such as keep his covenant and his testi- 
monies. 

For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniq-

One thing have I desired of the LORD, that 
will I seek after ; that I may dwell in the house 
of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold 
the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his 
temple. 

For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his 
pavilion : in the secret of his tabernacle shall he 
hide me ; he shall set me up upon a rock. 

And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine 
enemies round about me : therefore will I offer in

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice : have 
mercy also upon me, and answer me. 

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face ; my heart 
said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek. 

Hide not thy face far from me ; put not thy ser- 
vant away in anger: thou hast been my help ; leave 
me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 

When my father and my mother forsake me, then 
the Lord will take me up. 

Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a 
plain path, because of mine enemies. 

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine ene- 
mies : for false witnesses are risen up against me, 
and such as breathe out cruelty. 

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the 
goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 

Wait on the LORD : be of good courage, and he 
shall strengthen thine heart : wait, I say, on the 
Lord. 

Psalm 28.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the 
workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their 
neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

habitants of the world stand in awe of him. 

For he spake, and it was done ; he commanded, 
and it stood fast. 

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen 
to nought : he maketh the devices of the people of 
none effect. 

The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the 
thoughts of his heart to all generations. 

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD ; 
and the people whom he hath chosen for his own 
inheritance. 

The LORD looketh from heaven ; he beholdeth 
all the sons of men. 

From the place of his habitation he looketh upon 
all the inhabitants of the earth. 

He fashioneth their hearts alike ; he considereth 
all their works. 

There is no king saved by the multitude of a 
host : a mighty man is not delivered by much 
strength. 

A horse is a vain thing for safety : neither shall 
he deliver any by his great strength.

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that 
fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy ; 

To deliver their soul from death, and to keep 
them alive in famine. 

Our soul waiteth for the Lord : he is our help 
and our shield. 

For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we 
have trusted in his holy name. 

Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according 
as we hope in thee.

his name together. 

1 sought the LORD, and he heard me, and de- 
livered me from all my fears. 

They looked unto him, and were lightened : and 
their faces were not ashamed. 

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, 
and saved him out of all his troubles. 

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about 
them that fear him, and delivereth them. 

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed 
is the man that trusteth in him. 

O fear the LORD, ye his saints : for there is no 
want to them that fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger : but 
they that seek the LORD shall not want any good 
thing. 

Come, ye children, hearken unto me : I will teach 
you the fear of the LORD. 

What man is he that desireth life, and loveth 
many days, that he may see good ? 

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from 
speaking guile. 

Depart from evil, and do good ; seek peace, and 
pursue it. 

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, 
and his ears are open unto their cry. 

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, 
to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and 
delivereth them out of all their troubles. 

The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken 
heart ; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 

Many are the afflictions of the righteous : but the 
LORD delivereth him out of them all. 

He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is 
broken. 

Evil shall slay the wicked : and they that hate 
the righteous shall be desolate. 

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: 
and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. 

Psalm 35. 
OLEAD my cause, O Lord, with them that

And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD : it shall 
| rejoice in his salvation. 

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto 
thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too 
strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from 
him that spoileth him ? 

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation : 
I will praise thee among much people. 

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor 
my righteous cause : yea, let them say continually, 
Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in 
the prosperity of his servant. 

And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness 
and of thy praise all the day long.

preservest man and beast. 

How excellent is thy loving-kindness, O God ! 



The 9th Day. PSALMS. 43 



therefore the children of men put their trust under 
the shadow of thy wings. 

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fat- 
ness of thy house ; and thou shalt make them drink 
of the river of thy pleasures. 

For with thee is the fountain of life : in thy light 
shall we see light. 

continue thy loving-kindness unto them that 
know thee ; and thy righteousness to the upright 
in heart. 

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and 
let not the hand of the wicked remove me. 

There are the workers of iniquity fallen : they are 
cast down, and shall not be able to rise. 

Psalm 37.— Part 1. 

CRET not thyself because of evil-doers, neither 
be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, 
and wither as the green herb. 

Trust in the Lord, and do good ; so shalt thou 
dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 

Delight thyself also in the LORD ; and he shall 
give thee the desires of thine heart. 

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in 
him ; and he shall bring it to pass. 

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the 
light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him : 
fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in 
his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked 
devices to pass. 



44 PSALMS. The 9th Day. 

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath : fret not 
thyself in any wise to do evil. 

For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that 
wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the 
earth. 

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not 
be : yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, 
and it shall not be. 

But the meek shall inherit the earth ; and shall 
delight themselves in the abundance of peace. 

The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth 
upon him with his teeth. 

The Lord shall laugh at him : for he seeth that 
his day is coming. 

A little that a righteous man hath is better than, 
the riches of many wicked. 

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken : but 
the LORD upholdeth the righteous. 

The LORD knoweth the days of the upright : and 
their inheritance shall be forever. 

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and 
in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies 
of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs : they 
shall consume ; into smoke shall they consume 
away. 

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again : 
but the righteous showeth mercy, and giveth. 

For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the 
earth ; and they that be cursed of him shall be 
cut off.

Psalm 37.— Part 2. 

HPHE steps of a good man are ordered by the 
A LORD : and he delighteth in his way. 

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down : 
for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand. 

I have been young, and now am old ; yet have I 
not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed beg- 
ging bread. 

He is ever merciful, and lendeth ; and his seed is 
blessed. 

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for 
evermore. 

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh 
not his saints ; they are preserved forever : but the 
seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 

The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell 
therein forever. 

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, 
and his tongue talketh of judgment. 

The law of his God is in his heart ; none of his 
steps shall slide. 

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh 
to slay him. 

The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor 
condemn him when he is judged. 

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he 
shall exalt thee to inherit the land : when the wicked 
are cut off, thou shalt see it. 

I have seen the wicked in great power, and 
spreading himself like a green bay-tree.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright :

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together : 
the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 

But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord : 
he is their strength in the time of trouble. 

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them : 
he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save 
them, because they trust in him. 

Psalm 38. 
(~\ LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath : neither

For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand

There is no soundness in my flesh because of 
thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones 
because of my sin. 

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head : as 
a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 

I am troubled ; I am bowed down greatly ; I go 
mourning all the day long. 

I am feeble and sore broken : I have roared by 
reason of the disquietness of my heart. 

Lord, all my desire is before thee ; and my groan- 
ing is not hid from thee. 

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me : as for 
the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my 
sore ; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

Psalm 39. 

T SAID, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin 

* not with my tongue : I will keep my mouth with 

a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 

I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even 
from good ; and my sorrow was stirred. 

My heart was hot within me ; while I was musing 
the fire burned : then spake I with my tongue, 

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the 
measure of my days, what it is ; that I may know 
how frail I am. 

Behold, thou hast made my days as a hand- 
breadth ; and mine age is as nothing before thee : 
verily every man at his best state is altogether 
vanity. 

Surely every man walketh in a vain show : surely 
they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, 
and knoweth not who shall gather them. 



48 Psalms. The 10th Day. 

And now, Lord, what wait I for ? my hope is in 
thee. 

Deliver me from all my transgressions : make me 
not the reproach of the foolish. 

I was dumb, I opened not my mouth ; because 
thou didst it. 

Remove thy stroke away from me : I am con- 
sumed by the blow of thine hand. 

When thou with rebukes dost correct man for 
iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away 
like a moth : surely every man is vanity. 

Hear my prayer, Lord, and give ear unto my 
cry ; hold not thy peace at my tears : for I am a 
stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers 
were. 

spare me, that I may recover strength, before 
I go hence, and be no more. 

Psalm 40. 
T WAITED patiently for the Lord ; and he in- 
* clined unto me, and heard my cry. 

He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out 
of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and 
established my goings. 

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, 
even praise unto our God : many shall see it, and 
fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 

Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his 
trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as 
turn aside to lies. 

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works 
which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are 



The 10th. Day. PSALMS. 49 

to us-ward : they cannot be reckoned up in order 
unto thee : if I would declare and speak of them, 
they are more than can be numbered. 

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire ; mine 
ears hast thou opened : burnt-offering and sin-offer- 
ing hast thou not required. 

Then said I, Lo, I come : in the volume of the 
book it is written of me, 

I delight to do thy will, O my God : yea, thy law 
is within my heart. 

I have preached righteousness in the great con- 
gregation : lo, I have not refrained my lips, O 
LORD, thou knowest. 

I have not hid thy righteousness within my 
heart ; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy 
salvation : I have not concealed thy loving-kindness 
and thy truth from the great congregation. 

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, 
O LORD : let thy loving-kindness and thy truth 
continually preserve me. 

For innumerable evils have compassed me about : 
mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I 
am not able to look up ; they are more than the 
hairs of mine head : therefore my heart faileth me. 

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me : O Lord, 
make haste to help me. 

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad 
in thee : let such as love thy salvation say con- 
tinually, The Lord be magnified. 

But I am poor and needy ; yet the Lord thinketh 
upon me : thou art my help and my deliverer ; make 
no tarrying, O my God.

wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 

The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of 
languishing : thou wilt make all his bed in his sick-

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me : heal my soul ; 
for I have sinned against thee. 

By this I know that thou favorest me, because 
mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integ-

went with them to the house of God, with the

holy day. 

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why- 
art thou disquieted in me ? hope thou in God : for 
I shall yet praise him for the help of his counte-

Yet the LORD will command his loving-kindness 
in the day-time, and in the night his song shall be 
with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. 

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou for- 
gotten me ? why go I mourning because of the 
oppression of the enemy? 

Why art thou cast down, O my soul ? and why 
art thou disquieted within me ? hope thou in God :

the oppression of the enemy? 

O send out thy light and thy truth : let them 
lead me ; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and 
to thy tabernacles. 

Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God 
my exceeding joy : yea, upon the harp will I praise 
thee, O God my God. 

Why art thou cast down, O my soul ? and why

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy 
hand, and plantedst them ; how thou didst afflict 
the people, and cast them out. 

For they got not the land in possession by their 
own sword, neither did their own arm save them : 
but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of 
thy countenance, because thou hadst a favor unto 
them. 

Thou art my King, O God : command deliver- 
ances for Jacob. 

Through thee we will push down our enemies : 
through thy name will we tread them under that 
rise up against us. 

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my

thee forever. 

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most Mighty, 
with thy glory and thy majesty. 

And in thy majesty ride prosperously, because 
of truth and meekness and righteousness ; and thy 
right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 

Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's 
enemies ; whereby the people fall under thee. 

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever : the scep-

Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness :

The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved :

Come, behold the works of the Lord, what deso-

Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of 
Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. 

Walk about Zion, and go round about her : tell

They that trust in their wealth, and boast them- 
selves in the multitude of their riches; 

None of them can by any means redeem his 
brother, nor give to God a ransom for him : 

(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and 
it ceaseth forever :) 

That he should still live forever, and not see 
corruption. 

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool 
and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth 
to others. 

Their inward thought is, that their houses shall 
continue forever, and their dwelling-places to all 
generations ; they call their lands after their own 
names. 

Nevertheless man being in honor abideth not: he 
is like the beasts that perish. 

This their way is their folly : yet their posterity 
approve their sayings. 

Like sheep they are laid in the grave ; death 
shall feed on them ; and the upright shall have 
dominion over them in the morning; and their 
beauty shall consume in the grave from their 
dwelling. 

But God will redeem my soul from the power of 
the grave : for he shall receive me.

Though while he lived he blessed his soul, (and 
men will praise thee, when thou doest well to

He shall call to the heavens from above, and to

Hear, O my people, and I will speak ; Israel, and

I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy

I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he- 
goats out of thy folds: 

For every beast of the forest is mine, and the 
cattle upon a thousand hills. 

I know all the fowls of the mountains : and the 
wild beasts of the field are mine. 

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee : for the 
world is mine, and the fullness thereof. 

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of 
goats? 

Offer unto God thanksgiving ; and pay thy vows 
unto the Most High : 

And call upon me in the day of trouble : I will 
deliver thee, and thou shait glorify me. 

But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou 
to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest 
take my covenant in thy mouth ? 

Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my 
words behind thee. 

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear 
you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me : and to him 
that ordereth his conversation aright will I show 
the salvation of God.

judgest. 

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did 
my mother conceive me. 

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts : 
and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know 
wisdom. 

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash 
me, and I shall be wdiiter than snow. 

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the 
bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine 
iniquities. 

Create in me a clean heart, O God ; and renew a 
right spirit within me. 

Cast me not away from thy presence ; and take 
not thy Holy Spirit from me. 

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation ; and 
uphold me with thy free Spirit. 

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways ; and 
sinners shall be converted unto thee. 

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou 
God of my salvation : and my tongue shall sing 
aloud of thy righteousness. 

O Lord, open thou my lips ; and my mouth shall 
show forth thy praise.

My heart is sore pained within me : and the ter- 
rors of death are fallen upon me. 

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, 
and horror hath overwhelmed me. 

And I said, O that I had wings like a dove ! for 
then would I fly away, and be at rest. 

Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in 
the wilderness. 

I would hasten my escape from the windy storm 
and tempest. 

For it was not an enemy that reproached me ; 
then I could have borne it : neither was it he that 
hated me that did magnify himself against me ; 
then I would have hid myself from him : 

But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, 
and mine acquaintance. 

We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto 
the house of God in company. 

As for me, I will call upon God ; and the Lord 
shall save me. 



The 12th Day. PSALMS. 61 

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, 
and cry aloud : and he shall hear my voice. 

He hath delivered my soul in peace from the 
battle that was against me: for there were many 
with me. 

God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that 
abideth of old. Because they have no changes, 
therefore they fear not God. 

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall 
sustain thee : he shall never suffer the righteous to 
be moved. 

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the 
pit of destruction : bloody and deceitful men shall 
not live out half their days ; but I will trust in 
thee. 

Psalm 56. 

HE merciful unto me, O God: for man would 
*-* swallow me up ; he fighting daily oppress- 
eth me. 

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 

In God I will praise his word, in God I have 
put my trust ; I will not fear what flesh can do 
unto me. 

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies 
turn back : this I know ; for God is for me. 

In God will I praise his word : in the LORD will 
I praise his word. 

In God have I put my trust : I will not be afraid 
what man can do unto me. 

Thy vows are upon me, O God : I will render 
praises unto thee. 



62 PSALMS. The 13th Day.

Psalm 57. 

DE merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto 
*-^ me : for my soul trusteth in thee : yea, in the 
shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until 
these calamities be overpast. 

I will cry unto God most high ; unto God that 
performeth all things for me. 

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens ; let 
thy glory be above all the earth. 

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed : I 
will sing and give praise. 

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people : I 
will sing unto thee among the nations. 

For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy 
truth unto the clouds. 

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let 
thy glory be above all the earth. 

Psalm 59. 

"T^vELIVER me from mine enemies, O my God : 
*-^ defend me from them that rise up against me. 
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save 
me from bloody men. 



The 13th Day. PSALMS. 63 

Because of his strength will I wait upon thee : for 
God is my defence. 

The God of my mercy shall prevent me : God 
shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. 

But I will sing of thy power ; yea, I will sing 
aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast 
been my defence and refuge in the day of my 
trouble. 

Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing : for God 
is my defence, and the God of my mercy. 

Psalm 61. 

TT EAR my cry, O God ; attend unto my prayer. 

From the end of the earth will I cry unto 
thee, when my heart is overwhelmed : lead me to 
the rock that is higher than I. 

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong 
tower from the enemy. 

I will abide in thy tabernacle forever : I will trust 
in the covert of thy wings. 

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou 
hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy 
name. 

So will I sing praise unto thy name forever, that 
I may daily perform my vows. 

Psalm 62. 

FRULY my soul waiteth upon God: from him 
cometh my salvation. 
He only is my rock and my salvation ; he is my 
defence ; I shall not be greatly moved. 



64 PSALMS. The 13th Day. 



My soul, wait thou only upon God ; for my ex- 
pectation is from him. 

He only is my rock and my salvation : he is my 
defence ; I shall not be moved. 

In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock 
of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. 

Trust in him at all times ; ye people, pour out 
your heart before him : God is a refuge for us. 

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of 
high degree are a lie : to be laid in the balance, 
they are altogether lighter than vanity. 

Trust not in oppression, and become not vain 
in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart 
upon them. 

God hath spoken once ; twice have I heard this ; 
that power belongeth unto God. 

Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy : for 
thou renderest to every man according to his 
work. 



Gctjenimj Prater. 

Psalm 63. 

f\ GOD, thou art my God; early will I seek 
^•^ thee : my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh 
longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no 
water is ; 

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen 
thee in the sanctuary. 

Because thy loving-kindness is better than life, 
my lips shall praise thee. 



The 13th Day. PSALMS. 65 

Thus will I bless thee while I live : I will lift up 
my hands in thy name. 

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and 
fatness ; and my mouth shall praise thee with joy- 
ful lips : 

When I remember thee upon my bed, and medi- 
tate on thee in the night watches. 

Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the 
shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 

My soul followeth hard after thee : thy right hand 
upholdeth me. 

Psalm 65. 

ORAISE waiteth for thee, O God, in Zion : and 
* unto thee shall the vow be performed. 

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all 
flesh come. 

Iniquities prevail against me : as for our trans- 
gressions, thou shalt purge them away. 

Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and 
causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell 
in thy courts : we shall be satisfied with the good- 
ness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. 

By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou an- 
swer us, O God of our salvation ; who art the con- 
fidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them 
that are afar off upon the sea : 

Which by his strength sette.th fast the mountains ; 
being girded with power : 

Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of 
their waves, and the tumult of the people. 

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are 



G6 PSALMS. The 14th Day. 

afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of 
the morning and evening to rejoice. 

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it : thou 
greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is 
full of water : thou preparest them corn, when thou 
hast so provided for it. 

Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly : 
thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it 
soft with showers: thou blessest the springing 
thereof. 

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness ; and 
thy paths drop fatness. 

They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness : 
and the little hills rejoice on every side. 

The pastures are clothed with flocks ; the valleys 
also are covered over with corn ; they shout for joy, 
they also sing. 



THE FOURTEENTH DAY.

Psalm 66. 

]\A AKE a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:

praise glorious. 

Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy 
works ! through the greatness of thy power shall 
thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. 

All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing 
unto thee ; they shall sing to thy name. 



The 14th Day. PSALMS. 67 

Come and see the works of God : he is terrible in 
his doing toward the children of men. 

He turned the sea into dry land : they went 
through the flood on foot: there did we rejoice in 
him. 

He ruleth by his power forever ; his eyes behold 
the nations : let not the rebellious exalt them- 
selves. 

bless our God, ye people, and make the voice 
of his praise to be heard : 

Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not 
our feet to be moved. 

For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried 
us, as silver is tried. 

Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst 
affliction upon our loins. 

Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we 
went through fire and through water: but thou 
broughtest us out into a wealthy place. 

1 will pay thee my vows, which my lips have 
uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was 
in trouble. 

Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will 
declare what he hath done for my soul. 

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was ex- 
tolled with my tongue. 

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will 
not hear me: 

But verily God hath heard me ; he hath attended 
to the voice of my prayer. 

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my 
prayer, nor his mercy from me.

Psalm 67. 
f~^ OD be merciful unto us, and bless us ; and cause

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy 
saving health among all nations. 

Let the people praise thee, O God ; let all the 
people praise thee. 

O let the nations be glad and sing for joy : for 
thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern 
the nations upon earth. 

Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the 
people praise thee. 

Then shall the earth yield her increase ; and God, 
even our own God, shall bless us. 

God shall bless us ; and all the ends of the earth 
shall fear him. 



Caning prater. 

Psalm 68. 

ET God arise, let his enemies be scattered : let 
*-' them also that hate him flee before him. 

As smoke is driven away, so drive them away : as 
wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish 
at the presence of God. 

But let the righteous be glad ; let them rejoice 
before God : yea, let them exceedingly rejoice. 

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name : extol 
him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, 
and rejoice before him. 

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the 
widows, is God in his holy habitation. 



The 14th Day. PSALMS. 69 

God setteth the solitary in families : he bringeth 
out those which are bound with chains : but the 
rebellious dwell in a dry land. 

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy 
people, when thou didst march through the wilder- 
ness ; 

The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at 
the presence of God : even Sinai itself was moved 
at the presence of God, the God of Israel. 

Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby 
thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was 
weary. 

Thy congregation hath dwelt therein : thou, O 
God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor. 

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led cap- 
tivity captive : thou hast received gifts for men ; 
yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God 
might dwell among them. 

Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with 
benefits, even the God of our salvation. 

He that is our God is the God of salvation ; 
and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from 
death. 

Thy God hath commanded thy strength : strength- 
en, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth ; O sing 
praises unto the Lord ; 

To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, 
which were of old ; lo, he doth send out his voice, 
and that a mighty voice. 

Ascribe ye strength unto God : his excellency is 
over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. 



70 PSALMS. The 14th Day. 



God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: 
the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and 
power unto his people. Blessed be God. 

Psalm 69. 

AVE me,0 God ; for the waters are come in unto 
^ my soul. 

1 sink in deep mire, where there is no standing : 

1 am come into deep waters, where the floods over- 
flow me. 

I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: 
mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 

Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of 
hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that 
seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of 
Israel. 

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach ; 
shame hath covered my face. 

I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and 
an alien unto my mother's children. 

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up ; 
and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are 
fallen upon me. 

When I wept, and chastened my soul with fast- 
ing, that was to my reproach. 

But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, 
in an acceptable time:0 God, in the multitude 
of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy sal- 
vation. 

Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink : 
let me be delivered from them that hate me, and 
out of the deep waters. 



The 14th Day. PSALMS. 71 

Let not the water-flood overflow me, neither let 
the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut 
her mouth upon me. 

Hear me, O LORD ; for thy loving-kindness is 
good : turn unto me according to the multitude of 
thy tender mercies. 

And hide not thy face from thy servant ; for I am 
in trouble : hear me speedily. 

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it : deliver 
me because of mine enemies. 

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, 
and my dishonor: mine adversaries are all before 
thee. 

Reproach hath broken my heart ; and I am full 
of heaviness : and I looked for some to take pity, 
but there was none ; and for comforters, but I found 
none. 

They gave me also gall for my meat ; and in my 
thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 

But I am poor and sorrowful : let thy salvation, 
O God, set me up on high. 

I will praise the name of God with a song, and 
will magnify him with thanksgiving. 

The humble shall see this, and be glad : and your 
heart shall live that seek God. 

For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth 
not his prisoners. 

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, 
and every thing that moveth therein.

Psalm 70. 

MAKE haste, O God, to deliver me ; make haste 
* ' *■ to help me, O Lord. 

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad 
in thee : and let such as love thy salvation say con- 
tinually, Let God be magnified. 

But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, 

God : thou art my help and my deliverer ; O 
Lord, make no tarrying. 

Psalm 71. 

TN thee, O LORD, do I put my trust : let me never 

1 be put to confusion. 

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me 
to escape : incline thine ear unto me, and save me. 

Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I 
may continually resort: thou hast given command- 
ment to save me ; for thou art my rock and my 
fortress. 

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the 
wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and 
cruel man. 

For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD : thou art my 
trust from my youth. 

I am as a wonder unto many ; but thou art my 
strong refuge. 

Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with 
thy honor all the clay. 



The 15th Day. PSALMS. 73 

Cast me not off in the time of old age ; forsake 
me not when my strength faileth. 

For mine enemies speak against me ; and they 
that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, say- 
ing, God hath forsaken him. 

God, be not far from me: my God, make 
haste for my help. 

But I will hope continually, and will yet praise 
thee more and more. 

My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and 
thy salvation all the day ; for I know not the num- 
bers thereof. 

1 will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make 
mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only. 

O God, thou hast taught me from my youth : and 
hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. 

Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, 
forsake me not ; until I have showed thy strength 
unto this generation, and thy power to every one 
that is to come. 

Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who 
hast done great things : O God, who is like unto 
thee ! 

Thou, which hast showed me great and sore 
troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring 
me up again from the depths of the earth. 

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort 
me on every side. 

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto 
thee ; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. 

My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness 
all the day long.

Opening JJrager. 
Psalm 73. 

PRULY God is good to Israel, even to such as are 
A of a clean heart. 

But as for me, my feet were almost gone ; my 
steps had well-nigh slipped. 

For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the 
prosperity of the wicked. 

When I thought to know this, it was too painful 
for me ; 

Until I went into the sanctuary of God ; then 
understood I their end. 

Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: 
thou castedst them down into destruction. 

How are they brought into desolation, as in a 
moment ! they are utterly consumed with terrors. 

As a dream when one awaketh ; so, O Lord, when 
thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. 

Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in 
my reins. 

So foolish was I, and ignorant : I was as a beast 
before thee. 

Nevertheless I am continually with thee : thou 
hast holden me by my right hand. 

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and after- 
ward receive me to glory. 

Whom have I in heaven but thee ? and there is 
none upon earth that I desire besides thee. 

My flesh and my heart faileth : but God is the 
strength of my heart, and my portion forever. 



The 16th Day. PSALMS. 75 

Psalm 75. 

T TNTO thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee 
^ do we give thanks : for that thy name is near 
thy wondrous works declare. 

When I shall receive the congregation I will judge 
uprightly. 

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly : and to 
the wicked, Lift not up the horn : 

Lift not up your horn on high : speak not with a 
stiff neck. 

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor 
from the west, nor from the south. 

But God is the judge : he putteth down one, and 
setteth up another. 

For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and 
the wine is red ; it is full of mixture ; and he pour- 
eth out of the same : but the dregs thereof, all the 
wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink 
them. 

But I will declare forever ; I will sing praises to 
the God of Jacob. 

All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; 
but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. 



THE SIXTEENTH DAY.

Psalm 76. 

PHOU, even thou, O God, art to be feared: and 
who may stand in thy sight when once thou art 
angry ? 



PSALMS. The 16th Day. 



Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from 
heaven ; the earth feared, and was still, 

When God arose to judgment, to save all the 
meek of the earth. 

Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee : the 
remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. 

Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God : let all 
that be round about him bring presents unto him 
that ought to be feared. 

He shall cut off the spirit of princes : he is terrible 
to the kings of the earth. 

Psalm 77. 

T CRIED unto God with my voice, even unto God 
-*■ with my voice ; and he gave ear unto me. 

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord : my 
sore ran in the night, and ceased not : my soul re- 
fused to be comforted. 

I remembered God, and was troubled : I com- 
plained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. 

Thou holdest mine eyes waking : I am so troubled 
that I cannot speak. 

I have considered the days of old, the years of 
ancient times. 

I call to remembrance my song in the night : I 
commune with mine own heart : and my spirit made 
diligent search. 

Will the Lord cast off forever ? and will he be 
favorable no more ? 

Is his mercy clean gone forever? doth his promise 
fail for evermore ? 



The 16th Day. PSALMS. 77 

Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in 
anger shut up his tender mercies ? 

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remem- 
ber the years of the right hand of the Most High. 

I will remember the works of the Lord : surely 
I will remember thy wonders of old. 

I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of 
thy doings. 

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary : who is so 
great a God as our God? 

Thou art the God that doest wonders : thou hast 
declared thy strength among the people. 

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, 
the sons cf Jacob and Joseph. 

The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee ; 
they were afraid : the depths also were troubled. 

The clouds poured out water : the skies sent out 
a sound : thine arrows also went abroad. 

The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven : the 
lightnings lightened the world : the earth trembled 
and shook. 

Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great 
waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand 
of Moses and Aaron.

the living God. 

Yea, the sparrow hath found a house, and the 
swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her 
young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, 
and my God. 

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house : they 
will be still praising thee. 

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee ; in 
whose heart are the ways of them. 

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it 
a well ; the rain also filleth the pools. 

They go from strength to strength, every one of 
them in Zion appeareth before God. 

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer : give ear, 

God of Jacob. 

Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face 
of thine anointed. 

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. 

1 had rather be a door-keeper in the house of my 
God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 

For the LORD God is a sun and shield : the LORD 
will give grace and glory : no good thing will he 
withhold from them that walk uprightly. 

O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth 
in thee. 

Psalm 85. 

ORD, thou hast been favorable unto thy land : 

thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people ; 
thou hast covered all their sin. 



The 17th Day. PSALMS. 



Thou hast taken away ail thy wrath : thou hast 
turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 

Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine 
anger toward us to cease. 

Wilt thou be angry with us forever? wilt thou 
draw out thine anger to all generations ? 

Wilt thou not revive us again : that thy people 
may rejoice in thee? 

Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy 
salvation. 

1 will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he 
will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: 
but let them not turn again to folly. 

Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him ; 
that glory may dwell in our land. 

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness 
and peace have kissed each other. 

Truth shall spring out of the earth ; and right- 
eousness shall look down from heaven. 

Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good ; and 
our land shall yield her increase. 

Righteousness shall go before him ; and shall set 
us in the way of his steps.

80 PSALMS. The 17th Day. 

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee

Rejoice the soul of thy servant : for unto thee, O 
Lord, do I lift up my soul. 

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive ; 
and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon 
thee. 

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend 
to the voice of my supplications. 

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee : 
for thou wilt answer me. 

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O 
Lord ; neither are there any works like unto thy 
works. 

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and 
worship before thee, O Lord ; and shall glorify thy 
name. 

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things : 
thou art God alone. 

Teach me thy way, O LORD ; I will walk in thy 
truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all 
my heart : and I will glorify thy name for ever- 
more. 

For great is thy mercy toward me : and thou hast 
delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, 
and gracious, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy 
and truth. 

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give 
thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of 
thine handmaid. 



The 17th Day. PSALMS. 81 

Show me a token for good ; that they which 
hate me may see it, and be ashamed : because thou, 
Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me. 

Psalm 89. 

T WILL sing of the mercies of the Lord forever : 
* with my mouth will I make known thy faithful-

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever : 
thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very 
heavens. 

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have 
sworn unto David my servant, 

Thy seed will I establish forever, and build up 
thy throne to all generations. 

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O 
LORD : thy faithfulness also in the congregation of 
the saints. 

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the 
LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be 
likened unto the LORD ? 

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the 
saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that

O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong LORD

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day : and in 
thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever 
thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even 
from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 

Thou turnest man to destruction ; and sayest, 
Return, ye children of men. 

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yes- 
terday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 

Thou earnest them away as with a flood ; they 
are as a sleep : in the morning they are like grass 
which groweth up. 

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up ; in 
the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy 
wrath are we troubled. 

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our 
secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath : 
we spend our years as a tale that is told. 

The days of our years are threescore years and 
ten ; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore 
years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow ; for it 
is soon cut off, and we fly away. 

Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even 
according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 

So teach us to number our days, that we may 
apply our hearts unto wisdom. 

Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent 
thee concerning thy servants. 

O satisfy us early with thy mercy ; that we may 
rejoice and be glad all our days. 

Make us glad according to the days wherein thou 
hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have 
seen evil. 

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy 
glory unto their children. 

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon 
us : and establish thou the work of our hands upon 
us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the 
fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under 
his wings shalt thou trust : his truth shall be thy J

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ; 
nor for the arrow that flieth by day ; 

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in dark- 
ness ; nor for the destruction that wasteth at 
noonday. 

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thou- 
sand at thy right hand ; but it shall not come nigh 
thee. 

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see 
the reward of the wicked. 

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my 
refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation ; 

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any 
plague come nigh thy dwelling. 

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to 
keep thee in all thy ways. 

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou 
dash thy foot against a stone. 

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the 
young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore 
will I deliver him : I will set him on high, because 
he hath known my name.

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy

O Lord, how great are thy works ! and thy

A brutish man knoweth not ; neither doth a fool

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when 
all the workers of iniquity do flourish ; it is that 
they shall be destroyed forever : 

But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine ene-

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree :

To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your

Forty years long was I grieved with this genera-

Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am 
in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day 
when I call answer me speedily. 

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my 
bones are burned as a hearth. 

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass ; so 
that I forget to eat my bread. 

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones 
cleave to my skin. 

I am like a pelican of the wilderness : I am like 
an owl of the desert. 

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the 
housetop. 

Mine enemies reproach me all the day ; and they 
that are mad against me are sworn against me. 

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled 
my drink with weeping, 

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath : for 
thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. 

My days are like a shadow that declineth ; and I 
am withered like grass. 

But thou, O Lord, shalt endure forever; and thy 
remembrance unto all generations. 

Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion : 
for the time to favor her, yea, the set time, is

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose 
those that are appointed to death ; 

To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and 
his praise in Jerusalem ; 

When the people are gathered together, and the 
kingdoms, to serve the LORD. 

He weakened my strength in the way ; he short- 
ened my days. 

I said, O my God, take me not away in the 
midst of my days : thy years are throughout all

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth : 
and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure : yea, all 
of them shall wax old like a garment ; as a vesture

But thou art the same, and thy years shall have

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction ; who

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things ; so

He hath not dealt with us after our sins ; nor 
rewarded us according to our iniquities. 

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he

walketh upon the wings of the wind : 

Who maketh his angels spirits ; his ministers a 
flaming fire : 

Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it 
should not be removed forever. 

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a gar- 
ment : the waters stood above the mountains. 

At thy rebuke they fled ; at the voice of thy 
thunder they hasted away. 

They go up by the mountains ; they go down by 
the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded 
for them. 

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass 
over; that they turn not again to cover the 
earth. 

He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which 
run among the hills. 

They give drink to every beast of the field : the 
wild asses quench their thirst. 

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their 
habitation, which sing among the branches. 

He watereth the hills from his chambers: the 
earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and 
herb for the service of man : that he may bring 
forth food out of the earth ; 

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, 
and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which 
strengtheneth man's heart. 

The trees of the LORD are full of sap ; the cedars 
of Lebanon, which he hath planted ;

Thou makest darkness, and it is night : wherein 
all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. 

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek 
their meat from God. 

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, 
and lay them down in their dens. 

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labor 
until the evening. 

O LORD, how manifold are thy works ! in wisdom 
hast thou made them all : the earth is full of thy 
riches. 

So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things 
creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 

There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom 
thou hast made to play therein. 

These wait all upon thee ; that thou mayest give 
them their meat in due season. 

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest 
thine hand, they are filled with good. 

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled : thou 
takest away their breath, they die, and return to 
their dust. 

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created : 
and thou renewest the face of the earth. 

The glory of the LORD shall endure forever: the 
LORD shall rejoice in his works.

truth's sake. 

Wherefore should the heathen say, Wliere is now 
their God ? 

But our God is in the heavens : he hath done 
whatsoever he hath pleased. 

O Israel, trust thou in the LORD : he is their help 
and their shield. 

O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord : he is their 
help and their shield. 

Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the Lord : he is 
their help and their shield. 

The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless 
us ; he will bless the house of Israel ; he will bless 
the house of Aaron. 

He will bless them that fear the LORD, both 
small and great. 



104 PSALMS. The 23d Day. 

The Lord shall increase you more and more, 
you and your children. 

Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven

The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: 
but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 

The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that 
go down into silence. 

But we will bless the Lord from this time forth 
and for evermore. Praise the Lord.

Psalm 116. 

T LOVE the Lord, because he hath heard my 
A voice and my supplications. 

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, there- 
fore will I call upon him as long as I live. 

The sorrows of death compassed me, and the 
pains of hell gat hold upon me : I found trouble 
and sorrow. 

Then called I upon the name of the LORD ; O 
LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. 

Gracious is the LORD, and righteous ; yea, our 
God is merciful. 

The LORD preserveth the simple : I was brought 
low, and he helped me. 

Return unto thy rest, O my soul ; for the LORD 
hath dealt bountifully with thee. 



The 23d Day. PSALMS. 105 

For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine 
eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. 

I will walk before the Lord in the land of the 
living. 

I believed, therefore have I spoken : I was greatly 
afflicted: 

I said in my haste, All men are liars. 

What shall I render unto the LORD for all his 
benefits toward me ? 

I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the 
name of the LORD. 

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the 
presence of all his people. 

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of 
his saints. 

LORD, truly I am thy servant ; I am thy serv- 
ant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast 
loosed my bonds. 

1 will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, 
and will call upon the name of the LORD. 

I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the 
presence of all his people, 

In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst 
of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. 



Psalm 117.

Psalm 118.

Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth 
forever. 

Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy 
endureth forever. 

Let them now that fear the Lord say, that his 
mercy endureth forever. 

I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord 
answered me, and set me in a large place. 

The Lord is on my side ; I will not fear : what 
can man do unto me? 

The Lord taketh my part with them that help 
me : therefore shall I see my desire upon them that 
hate me. 

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put con- 
fidence in man. 

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put con- 
fidence in princes. 

All nations compassed me about : but in the 
name of the Lord will I destroy them. 

They compassed me about ; yea, they compassed 
me about : but in the name of the Lord I will de- 
stroy them. 

They compassed me about like bees ; they are 
quenched as the fire of thorns : for in the name of 
the Lord I will destroy them. 

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall : 
but the LORD helped me. 



The 23d Day. PSALMS. 107 

The Lord is my strength and song, and is be- 
come my salvation. 

The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the 
tabernacles of the righteous : the right hand of the 
Lord doeth valiantly. 

The right hand of the LORD is exalted : the right 
hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of 
the Lord. 

The Lord hath chastened me sore : but he hath 
not given me over unto death. 

Open to me the gates of righteousness : I will go 
into them, and I will praise the LORD : 

This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous 
shall enter. 

I will praise thee : for thou hast heard me, and 
art become my salvation. 

The stone which the builders refused is become 
the head stone of the corner. 

This is the Lord's doing ; it is marvelous in our 
eyes. 

This is the day which the Lord hath made ; we 
will rejoice and be glad in it. 

Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord : O Lord, I 
beseech thee, send now prosperity. 

Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the 
LORD : we have blessed you out of the house of 
the Lord. 

God is the Lord, which hath showed us light : 
bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns 
of the altar.

For I know that the LORD is great, and that our 
Lord is above all gods. 

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in 
heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep 
places. 

He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends 
of the earth ; he maketh lightnings for the rain ; he 
bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. 

Thy name, O LORD, endureth forever ; and thy 
memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations. 

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will 
repent himself concerning his servants. 

Bless the Lord, O house of Israel : bless the 
LORD, O house of Aaron : 

Bless the LORD, O house of Levi : ye that fear 
the Lord, bless the Lord. 

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth 
at Jerusalem. 

Psalm 138. 

WILL praise thee with my whole heart : before 
* the gods will I sing praise unto thee. 

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise 
thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth : 
for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy 
name. 

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and 
strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 

All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O 
LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.

Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD : 
for great is the glory of the LORD. 

Though the LORD be high, yet hath he re- 
spect unto the lowly : but the proud he knoweth 
afar off. 

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt 
revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand 
against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right 
hand shall save me. 

The Lord will perfect that which concerneth 
me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth forever: for- 
sake not the works of thine own hands. 



(Evening JJrager. 
Psalm 139. 

f~\ LORD, thou hast searched me, and known

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising ; 
thou understandest my thought afar off. 

Thou compassest my path and my lying down, 
and art acquainted with all my ways. 

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O 
Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 

Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid 
thine hand upon me. 

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me ; it is 
high, I cannot attain unto it. 

Whither shall I go from thy Spirit ? or whither 
shall I flee from thy presence ?

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I 
make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 

If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in 
the uttermost parts of the sea ; 

Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right 
hand shall hold me. 

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me ; even 
the night shall be light about me. 

Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee ; but the 
night shineth as the day : the darkness and the light 
are both alike to thee. 

For thou hast possessed my reins : thou hast 
covered me in my mother's womb. 

I will praise thee ; for I am fearfully and wonder- 
fully made: marvelous are thy works; and that 
my soul knoweth right well. 

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was 
made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest 
parts of the earth. 

Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being un- 
perfect ; and in thy book all my members were 
written, which in continuance were fashioned, when 
as yet there was none of them. 

How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O 
God ! how great is the sum of them ! 

If I should count them, they are more in num- 
ber than the sand : when I awake, I am still with 
thee. 

Search me, O God, and know my heart : try me, 
and know my thoughts : 

And see if there be any wicked way in me, and 
lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 141. 

ORD, I cry unto thee : make haste unto me ; 
*-' give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as in- 
cense ; and the lifting up of my hands as the even- 
ing sacrifice. 

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth ; keep 
the door of my lips. 

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice 
wicked works with men that work iniquity : and let 
me not eat of their dainties. 

Let the righteous smite me ; it shall be a kind-

But mine eyes are unto thee, God the Lord : 
in thee is my trust ; leave not my soul destitute. 

Keep me from the snares which they have laid 
for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

Attend unto my cry ; for 1 am brought very low : 
deliver me from my persecutors ; for they are

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me ;

I remember the days of old ; I meditate on all 
thy works ; I muse on the work of thy hands. 

I stretch forth my hands unto thee : my soul 
thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. 

Hear me speedily,. O LORD ; my spirit faileth : 
hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them 
that go down into the pit. 

Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morn- 
ing; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the 
way wherein I should walk ; for I lift up my soul 
unto thee.

rightness. 

Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for 
thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. 

Psalm 144. 

OLESSED be the LORD my strength, which teach- 
*-* eth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight : 

My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, 
and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I 
trust; who subdueth my people under me. 

LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge 
of him ! or the son of man, that thou makest account 
of him ! 

Man is like to vanity : his days are as a shadow 
that passeth away. 

Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch 
the mountains, and they shall smoke. 

Cast forth lightning, and scatter them : shoot out 
thine arrows, and destroy them. 

Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver 
me out of great waters, from the hand of strange 
children ; 

Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right 
hand is a right hand of falsehood. 

I will sing a new song unto thee, O God : 

It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who 
delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 

Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange

children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their 
right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 

That our sons may be as plants grown up in their 
youth; that our daughters maybe as corner-stones, 
polished after the similitude of a palace: 

That our garners may be full, affording all man- 
ner of store ; that our sheep may bring forth thou- 
sands and ten thousands in our streets : 

That our oxen may be strong to labor ; that there

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised ; and 
his greatness is unsearchable. 

One generation shall praise thy works to another, 
and shall declare thy mighty acts. 

I will speak of the glorious honor of thy majesty, 
and of thy wondrous works. 

And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible 
acts : and I will declare thy greatness. 



The 30th Day. PSALMS. 133 

They shall abundantly utter the memory of 
thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy right-

The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion ; 
slow to anger, and of great mercy. 

The Lord is good to all : and his tender mercies 
are over all his works. 

All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD ; and 
thy saints shall bless thee. 

They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, 
and talk of thy power ; 

To make known to the sons of men his mighty 
acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. 

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy 
dominion endureth throughout all generations. 

The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up 
all those that be bowed down. 

The eyes of all wait upon thee ; and thou givest 
them their meat in due season. 

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire 
of every living thing. 

The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy 
in all his works. 

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon 
him, to all that call upon him in truth. 

He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him : 
he also will hear their cry, and will save them. 

The LORD preserveth all them that love him : 
but all the wicked will he destroy. 

My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord : 
and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and

sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of 
man, in whom there is no help.

in that very day his thoughts perish. 

Happy is he that hath the. God of Jacob for his

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed:

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind : the

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up 
their wounds. 

He telleth the number of the stars ; he calleth 
them all by their names. 

Great is our Lord, and of great power : his un- 
derstanding is infinite. 

The Lord lifteth up the meek : he casteth the 
wicked down to the ground. 

Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing 
praise upon the harp unto our God : 

Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who pre- 
pareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow 
upon the mountains. 

He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young 
ravens which cry. 

He delighteth not in the strength of the horse : 
he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 

The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, 
in those that hope in his mercy. 

Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem ; praise thy God, 
O Zion. 

For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates ; 
he hath blessed thy children within thee. 

He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee 
with the finest of the wheat. 

He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth : 
his word runneth very swiftly. 

He giveth snow like wool : he scattereth the hoar 
frost like ashes. 

He casteth forth his ice like morsels : who can 
stand before his cold ? 



136 PSALMS. The 30th Day. 

He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he 
causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. 

He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes 
and his judgments unto Israel. 

He hath not dealt so with any nation : and as 
for his judgments, they have not known them. 

Psalm 148. 

ORAISE the LORD from the heavens: praise him 
in the heights. 

Praise ye him, all his angels : praise ye him, all 
his hosts. 

Praise ye him, sun and moon : praise him, all ye 
stars of light. 

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters 
that be above the heavens. 

Let them praise the name of the Lord : for he 
commanded, and they were created. 

He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: 
he hath made a decree which shall not pass. 

Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and 
all deeps : 

Fire, and hail ; snow, and vapor ; stormy wind 
fulfilling his word : 

Mountains, and all hills ; fruitful trees, and all 
cedars : 

Beasts, and all cattle ; creeping things, and flying 
fowl : 

Kings of the earth, and all people ; princes, and 
all judges of the earth : 

Both young men, and maidens ; old men, and 
children : 



The 30th Day. PSALMS. 137 

Let them praise the name of the LORD : for his 
name alone is excellent ; his glory is above the earth 
and heaven. 

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise 
of all his saints ; even of the children of Israel, a 
people near unto him. 

Psalm 150. 
DRAISE God in his sanctuary: praise him in the 
* firmament of his power. 

Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him accord-

Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.

Psalm 1. 

OLESSED is the man that walketh not in the 
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way 
of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in 
his law doth he meditate day and night. 

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers 
of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season ; 
his leaf also shall not wither ; and whatsoever he 
doeth shall prosper. 

The ungodly are not so : but are like the chaff 
which the wind driveth away. 

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the 
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the 



righteous. 



For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: 
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my 
fortress : my God ; in him will I trust. 

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the 
fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under 
his wings shalt thou trust : his truth shall be thy 
shield and buckler. 

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ; 
nor for the arrow that flieth by day ; 

Nor for the pestilence that walketh in dark- 
ness ; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noon- 
day. 

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thou- 
sand at thy right hand ; but it shall not come nigh 
thee. 

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see 
the reward of the wicked. 

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my 
refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation ; 

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any 
plague come nigh thy dwelling. 

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to 
keep thee in all thy ways. 

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou 
dash thy foot against a stone. 

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder : the 
young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample un- 
der feet. 

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore 
will I deliver him : I will- set him on high, because 
he hath known my name. 

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him : I

Psalm 19. 

"THE heavens declare the glory of God; and the 
firmament showeth his handiwork. 

Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto 
night showeth knowledge. 

There is no speech nor language, where their 
voice is not heard. 

Their line is gone out through all the earth, and 
their words to the end of the world. In them hath 
he set a tabernacle for the sun, 

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his cham- 
ber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 

His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and 
his circuit unto the ends of it : and there is nothing 
hid from the heat thereof. 

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the 
soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making 
wise the simple. . 

The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the 
heart : the commandment of the LORD is pure, en- 
lightening the eyes. 

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever : 
the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous 
altogether. 

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than

Moreover by them is thy servant warned : and in 
keeping of them there is great reward. 

Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me 
from secret faults. 

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous 
sins ; let them not have dominion over me : then 
shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the 
great transgression. 

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation 
of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, 
my strength, and my redeemer. 

From Psalm 119. 97. 

f~\ HOW love I thy law ! it is my meditation all

Thou through thy commandments hast made 
me wiser than mine enemies : for they are ever

I have more understanding than all my teachers : 
for thy testimonies are my meditation. 

I understand more than the ancients, because I 
keep thy precepts. 

I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that 
I might keep thy word. 

I have not departed from thy judgments: for 
thou hast taught me. 

How sweet are thy words unto my taste ! yea, 
sweeter than honey to my mouth. 

Through thy precepts I get understanding : there- 
fore I hate every false way.

Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains ;

their waves, and the tumult of the people. 

They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are 
afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of 
the morning and evening to rejoice. 

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it : thou 
greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is 
full of water : thou preparest them corn, when thou 
hast so provided for it. 

Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: 
thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it 
soft with showers : thou blessest the springing

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness ; and 
thy paths drop fatness.

He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the water- 
springs into dry ground ; 

A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness 
of them that dwell therein. 

He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, 
and dry ground into water-springs. 

And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that 
they may prepare a city for habitation ; 

And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which 
may yield fruits of increase. 

He blesseth them also, so that they are multi- 
plied greatly ; and suffereth not their cattle to de- 
crease. 

Again, they are minished and brought low through 
oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth 
them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no 
way. 

Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, 
and maketh him families like a flock. 

The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all 
iniquity shall stop her mouth. 

Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me :

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine in-

the iniquity of my sin. 

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto

in the floods of great waters they shall not come 
nigh unto him. 

Thou art my hiding-place ; thou shalt preserve 
me from trouble ; thou shalt compass me about

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way 
which thou shalt go : I will guide thee with mine

which thou hast broken may rejoice. 

Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine 
iniquities. 

Create in me a clean heart, O God ; and renew a 
right spirit within me. 

Cast me not away from thy presence ; and take 
not thy Holy Spirit from me. 

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation ; and 
uphold me with thy free Spirit. 

Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and 
sinners shall be converted unto thee. 

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou 
God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing 
aloud of thy righteousness. 

O Lord, open thou my lips ; and my mouth shall 
show forth thy praise. 

For thou desirest not sacrifice ; else would I give 
it : thou delightest not in burnt-offering. 

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit : a broken 
and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion : build

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of 
righteousness, with burnt-offering and whole burnt- 
offering : then shall they offer bullocks upon thine 
altar.

By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

me early shall find me. 

Riches and honor are with me ; yea, durable

My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold ; 
and my revenue than choice silver. 

I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst 
of the paths of judgment : 

That I may cause those that love me to inherit 
substance ; and I will fill their treasures. 

The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his 
way, before his works of old. 

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, 
or ever the earth was. 

When there were no depths, I was brought forth ; 
when there were no fountains abounding with water. 

Before the mountains were settled, before the 
hills was I brought forth : 

While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the 
fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the 
world. 

When he prepared the heavens, I was there : 
when he set a compass upon the face of the depth : 

When he established the clouds above : when he 
strengthened the fountains of the deep : 

When he gave to the sea his decree, that the 
waters should not pass his commandment : when he 
appointed the foundations of the earth : 

Then I was by him, as one brought up with him : 



170 Selections op Psalms Sel. 16. 

and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before 
him ; 

Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth ; and 
my delights were with the sons of men. 

Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children : 
for blessed are they that keep my ways. 

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. 

Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching 
daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall ob- 
tain favor of the Lord. 

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own 
soul : all they that hate me love death.

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto 
her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her in- 
iquity is pardoned : for she hath received of the 
Lord's hand double for all her sins.

Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in 
the desert a highway for our God. 

Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain 
and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall 
be made straight, and the rough places plain : 

And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, snd 
all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the 
LORD hath spoken it. 

The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I 
cry? AD flesh is grass, and all thegoodliness thereof 
is as the flower of the field : 

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth ; because 
the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the 
people is grass. 

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the 
word of our God shall stand forever. 

Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, 
My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgment is 
passed over from my God ? 

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that 
the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the

there is no searching of his understanding.

offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall pro- 
long his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall 
prosper in his hand. 

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall 
be satisfied : by his knowledge shall my righteous 
servant justify many; for he shall bear their in- 
iquities. 

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the 
great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; 
because he hath poured out his soul unto death :

he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for

Revelation 7. 9-17.

** which no man could number, of all nations, 
and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before 
the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white 
robes, and palms in their hands ; 

And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to 
our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto 
the Lamb. 

And all the angels stood round about the throne, 
and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell be 
fore the throne on their faces, and worshiped God, 
saying, Amen : 






Sel. 25. AND OTHEK SCRIPTURES. 189 

Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiv-

God for ever and ever. Amen. 

And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, 
What are these which are arrayed in white robes ? 
and whence came they? 

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And 
he said to me, These are they which came out of 
great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and 
made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

Therefore are they before the throne of God, 
and serve him day and night in his temple : and 
he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among 
them. 

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any 
more ; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any 
heat. 

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne 
shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living 
fountains of waters : and God shall wipe away all

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved 
you : continue ye in my love. 

If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in 
my love ; even as I have kept my Father's com- 
mandments, and abide in his love. 

These things have I spoken unto you, that my 
joy might remain in you, and that your joy might 
be full. 

This is my commandment, That ye love one an- 
other, as I have loved you. 

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man 
lay down his life for his friends. 

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command 
you. 

Henceforth I call you not servants ; for the serv- 
ant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have 
called you friends ; for all things that I have heard 
of my Father I have made known unto you. 

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, 
and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth 
fruit, and that your fruit should remain ; that what- 
soever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he 
may give it you. 

These things I command you, that ye love one 
another. 

1 Corinthians 13. 

THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and 
* of angels, and have not charity, I am become 
as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and un- 
derstand all mysteries, and all knowledge ; and 






Sel. 25. and Other Scriptures. 191 

though I have all faith, so that I could remove 
mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the 
poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and 
have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 

Charity suffereth long, and is kind ; charity en- 
vieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed 
up, 

Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her 
own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil ; 

Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the 
truth ; 

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all 
things, endureth all things. 

Charity never faileth : but whether there be proph- 
ecies, they shall fail ; whether there be tongues, they 
shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall 
vanish away. 

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 

But when that which is perfect is come, then that 
which is in part shall be done away. 

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I under- 
stood as a child, I thought as a child : but when I 
became a man, I put away childish things. 

For now we see through a glass, darkly ; but then 
face to face : now I know in part ; but then shall I 
know even as also I am known. 

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three ; 
but the greatest of these is charity.

DEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath 
^ bestowed upon us, that we should be called the 
sons of God : therefore the world knoweth us not, 
because it knew him not. 

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth 
not yet appear what we shall be : but we know that, 
when he shall appear, we shall be like him ; for we 
shall see him as he is. 

And every man that hath this hope in him puri-

From 2 Corinthians -1. 16. 
"COR which cause we faint not; but though our 
* outward man perish, yet the inward man is 
renewed day by day. 

For our light affliction, which is but for a mo- 
ment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and 
eternal weight of glory ; 

While we look not at the things which are seen, 
but at the things which are not seen : for the things 
which are seen are temporal ; but the things which 
are not seen are eternal.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he 
will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, 
and God himself shall be with them, and be their 
God. 

And God shall wipe away all tears from t'heir 
eyes ; and there shall be no more death, neither sor- 
row, nor crying, neither shall there be any more 
pain : for the former things are passed away. 

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I 
make all things new. And he said unto me, Write : 
for these words are true and faithful. 

And he said unto me, It is done, I am Alpha 
and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give 
unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water 
of life freely. 

He that overcometh shall inherit all things ; and 
I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

And there came unto me one of the seven angels 
which had the seven vials full of the seven last

And I saw no temple therein : for the Lord God 
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of 
the moon, to shine in it : for the glory of God did 
lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 

And the nations of them which are saved shall 
walk in the light of it : and the kings of the earth 
do bring their glory and honor into it. 

And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day : 
for there shall be no night there. 

And they shall bring the glory and honor of the

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And

For I testify unto every man that heareth the 
words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall 
add unto these things, God shall add unto him the 
plagues that are written in this book:

thou ordained strength because of thine enemies,

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy

ordained ; 

What is man, that thou art mindful of him ? and 
the son of man, that thou visitest him ? 

For thou hast made him a little lower than the 
angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. 

Thou madest him to have dominion over the 
works of thy hands ; thou hast put all things under

mind. This is the'first and great commandment. 
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy 
neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments 
hang all the law and the prophets. 

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all 
these thy words in our hearts, we beseech thee.

THE LORD'S PRAYER 



AUR FATHER who art in heaven, hal- 
lowed be thy name. Thy kingdom 
come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is 
in heaven. Give lis this day our daily 
bread : and forgive us our trespasses, as 
we forgive them that trespass against us : 
and lead us not into temptation, but de- 
liver us from evil : for thine is the king- 
dom, and the power, and the glory, for- 
ever. Amen, 



210 The Apostles' Creed. 



THE APOSTLES' CREED 



T BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, 
Maker of heaven and earth : 

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son our 
Lord; who was conceived by the Holy 
Ghost, "born of the Virgin Mary ; suffered 
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, 
and buried; the third day he rose from 
the dead ; he ascended into heaven, and 
sitteth at the right hand of God the Father 
Almighty ; from thence he shall come to 
judge the quick and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Ghost ; the holy cath- 
olic Church, the communion of saints ; the 
forgiveness of sins ; the resurrection of 
the body ; and the life everlasting. Amen.

PREFACE TO THE HYMNAL. 



The General Conference of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church, on 
the thirtieth day of May, 1876, 
adopted the following report : — 

The Committee on the Revision of the 
Hymn Book have carefully considered 
the various papers referred to them, 
and respectfully report to the General 
Conference that they are unanimously 
of the opinion that a thorough revision 
of the Hymn Book now in use is imper- 
atively demanded. We therefore rec- 
ommend — 

1. That the Board of Bishops be re- 
quested to appoint, as soon as practica- 
ble, a Committee of fifteen, to whom 
shall be committed the work of revision. 

2. That this Committee be selected 
with reference to convenience of loca- 
tion for division into three sections for 
working purposes. 

3. That when the work of prepara- 
tory revision shall be completed by the 
several sections, the whole Committee 
shall be duly notified, and the work of 
each section shall be revised ; and that 
no hymn now in use shall be excluded 
without a vote of two thirds of the 
Committee for its rejection, and that no 
hymn not now in the collection shall be 
admitted without a vote of two thirds 
of the Committee in its favor. 



iii 



4. That when the Committee have 
completed their work, they shall submit 
their report to the Bishops for their 
approval, and the Bishops approving, 
they are authorized to commend it to 
the Church. 

5. That after the Committee afore- 
said shall have completed their revision 
of the Hymn Book, and their work has 
been approved by the Bishops as pro- 
vided for in item 4, they shall have 
power to prepare a suitable Hymn and 
Tune Book for the use of the Church. 

6. No compensation shall be paid to 
the Committee employed in the revisal, 
except for actual expenses incurred. 

In accordance with the fore- 
going resolution, the Bishops 
appointed the following per- 
sons as 

The Committee of Revision. 

Central Section. 
James M. Buckley, Erastus Wentworth, 
Richard Wheatley, John N. Brown,

PKEFACE TO THE HYMNAL. 



APPROVAL BY THE BISHOPS. 

To the Committee appointed to revise 
the Hymn Book : — 

Dear Brethren — The Bishops, at 
their late meeting in Cleveland, Ohio, 
very thoroughly examined the result of 
the labors of the Committee appointed 
under authority of the last General Con- 
ference, to revise the Hymn Book of 
the Methodist Episcopal Church. 

1. They went through the entire list 
of the hymns in the book now in use 
which the Committee has excluded. 

2. They thoughtfully considered ev- 
ery revision made in the text of the 
hymns which the Committee has re- 
tained. 

3. They read through carefully, and 
in many cases repeatedly, every new 



hymn which the Committee has intro- 
duced into the Revised Hymn Book. 

After the Committee had made a few 
changes which the Bishops suggested, 
the following resolution was unanimous- 
ly adopted, namely : — 

Resolved, That we have thoroughly 
examined, with great satisfaction, the 
work of the Committee appointed to 
revise the Hymn Book. We tender to 
the members of that Committee our 
thanks ; and believe the gratitude of 
the Church is due these brethren for 
the labor they have expended, and the 
wisdom, taste, and good judgment they 
have shown in preparing this most ex- 
cellent book. 

By order, and on behalf, of the 
Board of Bishops, 

William L. Harris, Secretary. 

New YORK, June 15, 1877 



ADDRESS 



TO THE 

MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 



Under the direction of the General Conference of 1876 this 
revised edition of our excellent Hymn Book has been pre- 
pared. The action of the General Conference, the names of 
the Committee selected by the Bishops, and the judgment of 
the Bishops as expressed to the Committee, are herewith pre- 
sented. You will note the great care which has marked every 
part of the work, whether in rejecting any of the hymns form- 
erly used, or in changing their phraseology, or in the selection 
of those which are new. Though perfection is not claimed, 
yet we believe the present Hymn Book will be considered a 
great improvement on the preceding one. 

We most cordially commend it to you as one of the choic- 
est selections of evangelical hymns ever published; and we 
trust that it will increase the interest of public worship, give a 
higher inspiration to social and family services, and aid in pri- 
vate meditation and devotion. As it is published by the 
authority of the Church, and to meet the wants of the Church, 
and as the profits will be devoted to religious purposes, we do 
the more earnestly commend it to your liberal patronage. 

We exhort you, dear brethren, to "sing with the spirit" 
and "with the understanding also," "making melody in your 
heart to the Lord." 

Your affectionate pastors in Christ,

PREFACE TO THE HYMNAL WITH TUNES. 



The Committee appointed by order of the last General Con- 
ference to revise the Hymn Book, was also empowered "to 
prepare a suitable Hymn and Tune Book for the use of the 
Church ; " and this book is presented as the result of its labor. 
The accepted doctrine of the Church is, that " every person in 
the congregation ought to sing, not one in ten only." To aid 
in securing such a consummation has been the prime purpose 
in the mind of the Committee. It has also been a special aim to 
prepare a book which would so commend itself to the whole 
Church as to secure uniformity of use in all our congregations, 
thus becoming a strong additional bond of union as well as a 
powerful stimulus in worship. Such a book is quite as much 
needed as a book of hymns alone. 

This book has a superiority over our previous works of this 
kind in its exact agreement with the Hymnal in the order and 
consecutive numbering of the hymns. The preservation of 
this identity has greatly increased the difficulty of adapting all 
the hymns to suitable tunes. To accomplish this properly, 
without unduly increasing the size and expense of the book, 
was not an easy problem ; yet it is believed that very few 
hymns will be found without their appropriate tunes on their 
own or on opposite pages. In the few instances where this has 
not been practicable, a familiar tune is suggested, with its 
page, at the head of the hymn. 

The tunes have been taken from the best sources of our own 
and other countries. They have been selected from a great 
multitude, and from a great variety of authors, and almost 
wholly with a view to their availability for congregational use. 
They are not mere scientific harmonies, but harmonized melo- 
dies. Most of them have been tested by long usage, and have 
become indispensable for popular use. Those that are relatively 
new will prove, it is believed, as acceptable and popular as the 
old. The variety is very broad, and yet the music is mainly 



PREFACE TO THE HYMNAL WITH TUNES. 

of a solid, enduring kind. Wherever pages that face each 
other contain hymns of the same meter it has been the aim to 
adapt them to one old tune and one less familiar. The number 
of tunes for particular meters will be found very large, and 
their character especially excellent. Of the few lighter tunes 
in the book, it is sufficient to say that they are married to their 
hymns and cannot well be divorced. The dozen or more of 
old and fugue tunes that follow the doxologies will be a grati- 
fication to many who still enjoy the ancient melodies. The 
chants, though not numerous, are those very generally used by 
the universal Church ; and it is hoped that they may become 
more popular and useful among us. 

The Committee has been assisted in the preparation of this 
book by Dr. Eben Tourjee, of Boston, and Mr. Joseph P. Hol- 
brook, of New York, as special musical editors. These names 
are a sufficient guaranty that the musical department of the 
work has been done in the best possible manner. 

We offer a few suggestions for congregational singing : — 

Let all provide themselves with books. Every singer should 
have a book to himself. 

Let all sing ; generally the melody of the tune. 

The minister must take and express deep and constant inter- 
est in congregational singing ; otherwise it will be a failure. 

The chorister must do the same. 

There should be a choir or a precentor, and an organ, if 
possible, to lead the people. The best arrangement is to have 
the choir and organ in front of the congregation. 

Frequent gatherings of the congregation in praise-meetings, 
and for instruction and practice in learning new tunes, are 
very desirable. For the sake of variety and freshness, the 
pastor and chorister should make persistent efforts to encour- 
age the congregation to learn new tunes. The book should be 
the standard book of the Sunday-school, and should be con- 
stantly used in the social meeting as well as in the congregation. 

In the hope that the work may stimulate all the people to 
sing in all the services of the sanctuary, and may contribute 
somewhat to the spirituality of divine worship through the 
power of cacred song upon the heart, it is respectfully sub- 
mitted to the kindly judgment of the Church.

1 Exultant praise to the Redeemer. 

1 O for a thousand tongues, to sing 
My great Redeemer's praise ; 

The glories of my God and King, 
The triumphs of his grace ! 

2 My gracious Master and my God, 
Assist me to proclaim, 

To spread through all the earth abroad, 
The honors of thy name. 

3 Jesus ! the name that charms our fears, 
That bids our sorrows cease ; 

'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 
"Tis life, and health, and peace. 

4 He breaks the power of canceled sin, 
He sets the prisoner free ; 

His blood can make the foulest clean; 
His blood availed for me. 

5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice, 
New life the dead receive ; 

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice ; 
The humble poor believe. 



6 Hear him, ye deaf ; his praise, ye dumb, 
Your loosened tongues employ; 

Ye blind, behold your Saviour come ; 
And leap, ye lame, for joy. 



<£ Worshiping the Lamb. 

1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs 
With angels round the throne ; 

Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, 
But all their joys are one. 

2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry 
"To be exalted thus! " 

"Worthy the Lamb!" our hearts reply, 
"For he was slain for us." 

3 Jesus is worthy to receive 
Honor and power divine ; 

And blessings more than we can give, 
Be, Lord, forever thine. 

4 The whole creation join in one, 
To bless the sacred name 

Of him that sits upon the throne, 
And to adore the Lamb.

The universal King. 

1 Come, sound his praise abroad, 
And hymns of glory sing : 

Jehovah is the sovereign God, 
The universal King. 

2 He formed the deeps unknown ; 
He gave the seas their bound ; 

The watery worlds are all his own, 
And all the solid ground. 

3 Come, worship at his throne, 
Come, bow before the Lord ; 

We are his works, and not our own ; 
He formed us by his word. 

4 To-day attend his voice, 
Nor dare provoke his rod ; 

Come, like the people of his choice. 
And own your gracious God.

<± Song of Moses and the Lamb. 

1 Awake, and sing the song 
Of Moses and the Lamb ; 

Wake, every heart and every tongue, 
To praise the Saviour's name. 

2 Sing of his dying love ; 
Sing of his rising power ; 

Sing how he intercedes above 
For those whose sins he bore. 

3 Sing on your heavenly way, 
Ye ransomed sinners, sing ; 

Sing on, rejoicing every day 
In Christ, the eternal King. 



4 Soon shall we hear him say, 

" Ye blessed children, come ! " 
Soon will he call us hence away, 
To our eternal home. 

5 There shall each raptured tongue 
His endless praise proclaim ; 

And sweeter voices tune the song 
Of Moses and the Lamb.

Praise and thanksgiving. 

1 Stand up, and bless the Lord, 
Ye people of his choice ; 

Stand up, and bless the Lord your God, 
With heart, and soul, and voice. 

2 Though high above all praise, 
Above all blessing high, 

Who would not fear his holy name, 
And laud, and magnify ? 

3 for the living flame 
From his own altar brought, 

To touch our lips, our souls inspire, 
And wing to heaven our thought ! 

4 God is our strength and song, 
And his salvation ours ; 

Then be his love in Christ proclaimed 
With all our ransomed powers. 

5 Stand up, and bless the Lord ; 
The Lord your God adore ; 

Stand up, and bless his glorious name, 
Henceforth, for evermore.

1 Jesus, we look to thee, 

Thy promised presence claim ; 
Thou in the midst of us shalt be, 
Assembled in thy name. 

2 Thy name salvation is, 
Which here we come to prove ; 

Thy name is life, and health, and 
And everlasting love. 

3 Not in the name of pride 
Or selfishness we meet ; 

From nature's paths we turn aside 
And worldly thoughts forget. 



4 We meet the grace to take, 
Which thou hast freely given ; 

We meet on earth for thy dear sake, 
That we may meet in heaven. 

5 Present we know thou art, 
But O thyself reveal I 

Now, Lord, let every bounding heart 
The mighty comfort feel. 

6 O may thy quickening voice 
The death of sin remove ; 

And bid our inmost souls rejoice, 
In hope of perfect love.

General invitation to praise God. 

1 From all that dwell below the skies, 
Let the Creator's praise arise ; 

Let the Redeemer's name be sung, 
Through every land, by every tongue. 

2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord ; 
Eternal truth attends thy word : 

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, 
Till suns shall rise and set no more. 

3 Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring ; 
In songs of praise divinely sing ; 

The great salvation loud proclaim, 
And shout for joy the Saviour's name. 

4 In every land begin the song ; 
To every land the strains belong : 
In cheerful sounds all voices raise, 
And nil the world with loudest praise.

V/ Reverential adoration. 

1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, 
Ye nations bow with sacred joy ; 

Know that the Lord is God alone, 
He can create, and he destroy. 

2 His sovereign power, without our aid, 
Made us of clay, and formed us men ; 

And when like wandering sheep we strayed, 
He brought us to his fold again. 

3 "We '11 crowd thy gates with thankful songs, 
High as the heavens our voices raise ; 

And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, 
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 

4 "Wide as the world is thy command ; 
Vast as eternity thy love ; 

Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, 
When rolling years shall cease to move. 

ISAAC WATTS, ALT. BY J. WESLEY". 



lO Universal adoration. 

1 O holy, holy, holy Lord ! 
Thou God of hosts, by all adored ; 

The earth and heavens are full of thee, 
Thy light, thy power, thy majesty. 

2 Loud hallelujahs to thy name, 
Angels and seraphim proclaim : 

By all the powers and thrones in heaven, 
Eternal praise to thee is given. 

3 Apostles join the glorious throng, 
And swell the loud triumphant song : 
Prophets and martyrs hear the sound, 
And spread the hallelujah round. 

4 Glory to thee, God most high I 
Father, we praise thy majesty ! 
The Son, the Spirit, we adore ! 
One Godhead, blest for evermore.

1 All people that on earth do dwell, 
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice ; 

Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell. 
Come ye before him, and rejoice. 

2 The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, 
Without our aid he did us make ; 

"We are his flock, he doth us feed, 
And for his sheep he doth us take. 

3 O enter then his gates with praise, 
Approach with joy his courts unto : 

Praise, laud, and bless his name always, 
For it is seemly so to do. 

4 For why? the Lord our God is good, 
His mercy is forever sure ; 

His truth at all times firmly stood, 
And shall from age to age endure.

Accept thy well-deserved renown, 
And wear our praises as thy crown.

Like our espousals, Lord, to thee ; 
Like the blest bour when from above 
We first received the pledge of love.

O may it ever, ever stay ! 

Nor let our faith forsake its hold, 
Nor hope decline, nor love grow cold. 

4 Let every moment, as it flies, 
Increase thy praise, improve our joys, 
Till we are raised to sing thy name, 
At the great supper of the Lamb.

1 O render thanks to God above, 
The fountain of eternal love, 
Whose mercy firm through ages past 
Hath stood, and shall forever last. 

2 Who can his mighty deeds express, 
Not only vast, but numberless? 
What mortal eloquence can raise 
His tribute of immortal praise ?

Thou to thy chosen dost afford ; 
When thou return'st to set them free, 
Let thy salvation visit me.

That I the joyful choir may join, 
And count thy people's triumph mine !

My heart to thee : here, Lord, abide I 
Let me thy inner presence feel, 
Thy grace and love in me reveal !

Let new and nobler life begin ; 
Thy Holy Spirit guide us on, 
Until the glorious crown be won !

lO Longings for the house of God. 

1 Lord of the worlds above. 
How pleasant and how fair 

The dwellings of thy love, 
Thine earthly temples, are ! 
To thine abode my heart aspires, — 
With warm desires to see my God. 

2 O happy souls that pray 
Where God appoints to hear ! 

happy men that pay 

Their constant service there ! 
They praise thee still ; and happy they 
That love the way to Zion's hill. 

3 They go from strength to strength, 
Through this dark vale of tears, 

Till each arrives at length, 
Till each in heaven appears : 
O glorious seat ! thou, God, our King, 
Shalt thither bring our willing feet. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

XO The universal King. 

1 Young men and maidens, raise 
Your tuneful voices high ; 

Old men and children, praise 
The Lord of earth and sky ; 
Him Three in One, and One in Three, 
Extol to all eternity. 



2 The universal King 

Let all the world proclaim ; 
Let every creature sing 

His attributes and name \ 
Him Three in One, and One in Three, 
Extol to all eternity. 

3 In his great name alone 
All excellences meet, 

Who sits upon the throne, 
And shall forever sit ; 
Him Three in One, and One in Three, 
Extol to all eternity. 

4 Glory to God belongs ; 
Glory to God be given, 

Above the noblest songs 
Of all in earth and heaven ; 
Him Three in One, and One in Three, 
Extol to all eternity. 

CHABLJ2S WKSLKV.

Thy everlasting praise we sing.

17 The glory of His grace. 

1 Let all on earth their voices raise, 
To sing the great Jehovah's praise, 

And bless his holy name : 
His glory let the heathen know, 
His wonders to the nations show, 

His saving grace proclaim. 

2 He framed the globe ; he built the sky ; 
He made the shining worlds on high, 

And reigns in glory there : 
His beams are majesty and light ; 
His beauties, how divinely blight ! 

His dwelling-place, how fair ! 

3 Come the great day, the glorious hour, 
When earth shall feel his saving power, 

All nations fear his name : 
Then shall the race of men confess 
The beauty of his holiness, 

His saving grace proclaim. 

ISAAC 'WATTS. 

lc? God's glorious presence. 

1 Thou God of power, thou God of love, 
Whose glory fills the realms above, 

Whose praise archangels sing, 
And veil their faces while they cry, 
" Thrice holy," to their God most high, 

" Thrice holy," to their King; 

2 Thee as our God we too would claim, 
And bless the Saviour's precious name, 

Through whom this grace is given : 
He bore the curse to sinners due, 
He forms their ruined souls anew, 

And makes them heirs of heaven. 



31 



3 The veil that hides thy glory rend, 
And here in savinq power descend, 

And fix thy blest abode ; 
Here to our hearts thyself repeal, 
And let each waiting spirit feel 

The presence of our God. 

JOHN WALKEB, 



J. y The praise of Jesus. 

i Jesus, thou soul of all our joys. 
For whom we now lift up our voice, 

And all our strength exert, 
Vouchsafe the grace we humbly claim ; 
Compose into a thankful frame, 

And tune thy people's heart. 

2 While in the heavenly work we join, 
Thy glory be our whole design, 

Thy glory, not our own : 
Still Jet us keep this end in view, 
And still the pleasing task pursue, 

To please our God alone. 

3 Thee let us praise, our common Lord, 
And sweetly join, with one accord, 

Thy goudness to proclaim : 
Jesus, thyself in us reveal, 
And all our faculties shall feel 

Thy harmonizing name. 

4 With calmly reverential joy, 
O let us all our lives employ 

In setting forth thy love ; 
And raise in death our triumph higher, 
And Ping, with all the heavenly choir, 

That endless song above.

Be thy glorious name-adored ! 
Lord, thy mercies never fail ; 

Hail, celestial Goodness, hail ! 

2 Though unworthy of thine ear, 
Leign our humble songs to hear ; 
Purer praise we hope to bring 
When around thy throne we sing.

Guide our footsteps in thy way, 
Till we come to dwell with thee, 
Till we all thy glory see.

There, in joyful songs of praise, 
Our triumphant voices raise.

At thy feet we humbly bow ; 

O do not our suit disdain ; 

Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain ? 

2 Lord, on thee our souls depend ; 
In compassion now descend ; 

"Fill our hearts with thy rich grace, 
Tune our lips to sing thy praise. 

3 In thine own appointed way, 
Now we seek thee, here we stay; 
Lord, we know not how to go, 
Till a blessing thou bestow. 

4 Send some message from thy word, 
That may joy and peace afford ; 

Let thy Spirit now impart 
Full salvation to each heart.

Let the time of joy return ; 

Those that are cast down lift up ;

Thee, a gracious God and kind : 
Heal the sick, the captive free ; 
Let us all rejoice in thee.

1 Christians, brethren, ere we part, 
Every voice and every heart 

Join, and to our Father raise 
One last hymn of grateful praise. 

2 Though we here should meet no more, 
Yet there is a brighter shore ; 

There, released from toil and pain, 
There we all may meet again. 

3 Now to thee, thou God of heaven, 
Be eternal glory given : 
Grateful for thy love divine, 

May our hearts be ever thine.

1 Now may He who from the dead 
Brought the Shepherd of the sheep, 

Jesus Christ, our King and Head, 
All our souls in safety keep. 

2 May he teach us to fulfill 
What is pleasing in his sight; 

Make us perfect in his will, 
And preserve us day and night. 

3 To that great Redeemer's praise, 
Who the covenant sealed with blood, 

Let our hearts and voices raise 
Loud thanksgivings to our God.

1 Songs of praise the angels sang, 
Heaven with hallelujahs rang, 
When Jehovah's work begun, 
When he spake and it was done. 

2 Songs of praise awoke the morn, 
When the Prince of peace was horn : 
Songs of praise arose, when he 
Captive led captivity.

Still in songs of praise rejoice ;

1 Thank and praise Jehovah's name ; 
For his mercies, firm and sure, 

From eternity the same, 
To eternity endure. 

2 Let the ransomed thus rejoice, 
Gathered out of every land, 

As the people of his choice, 
Plucked from the destroyer's hand. 

3 Let the elders praise the Lord, 
Him let all the people praise, 

When they meet with one accord, 
In his courts on holy days. 

4 Praise him, ye who know his love ; 
Praise him from the depths beneath ; 

Praise him in the heights above ; 
Praise your Maker, all that breathe.

Past, and present, and to be,

Thee with thankful hearts we prove

1 Come, let us who in Christ believe, 
Our common Saviour praise : 

To him with joyful voices give 
The glory of his grace. 

2 He now stands knocking at the door 
Of every sinner's heart : 

The worst need keep him out no more, 
Nor force him to depart. 

3 Through grace we hearken to thy voice, 
Yield to be saved from sin; 

In sure and certain hope rejoice, 
That thou wilt enter in. 

4 Come quickly in, thou heavenly Guest, 
Nor ever hence remove ; 

But sup with us, and let the feast 
Be everlasting love.

29 Blessing on worshipers. 

1 Once more we come before our God ; 
Once more his blessing ask : 

may not duty seem a load, 
Nor worship prove a task. 

2 Father, thy quickening Spirit send 
From heaven, in Jesus' name, 

And bid our waiting minds attend, 
And put our souls in frame. 

3 May we receive the word we hear, 
Each in an honest heart ; 

And keep the precious treasure there, 
And never with it part. 

4 To seek thee, all our hearts dispose ; 
To each thy blessings suit ; 

And let the seed thy servant sows 
Produce abundant fruit. 



JOSEPH HART. 



O Expecting the blessing. 

1 See, Jesus, thy disciples see, 
The promised blessing give ; 

Met in thy name, we look to thee, 
Expecting to receive. 

2 Thee we expect, our faithful Lord, 
Who in thy name are joined; 

We wait, according to thy word, 
Thee in the midst to find. 

3 With us thou art assembled here, 
But thyself reveal ; 

Son of the living God, appear ! 
Let us thy presence feel. 

4 Breathe on us, Lord, in this our day, 
And these dry bones shall live ; 

Speak peace into our hearts, and say, 
"The Holy Ghost receive." 

CHARLES -WESLEY. 

JL Infinite grace. 

1 Infinite excellence is thine, 
Thou glorious Prince of grace ! 

Thy uncreated beauties shine 
With never-fading rays. 

2 Sinners, from earth's remotest end, 
Come bending at thy feet ; 

To thee their prayers and songs ascend, 
In thee their wishes meet. 

3 Millions of happy spirits live 
On thy exhaustless store ; 

From thee they all their bliss receive, 
And still thou givest more. 

4 Thou art their triumph and their joy ; 
They find their all in thee ; 

Thy glories will their tongues employ 
Through all eternity.

Whom kings adored in song sublime, 
And prophets praised with glowing tongue :

The favored worshiper may dwell, 

Nor where, at sultry noon, thy Son 
Sat weary by the patriarch's well.

The grateful song, the fervent prayer, 

The incense of the heart may rise 
To heaven, and find acceptance there.

To thee at last in every clime, 
Shall temples rise and praise be sung.

00 Solemn adoration. 

1 Eternal Power, whose high abode 
Becomes the grandeur of a God, 
Infinite lengths beyond the bounds 
Where stars revolve their little rounds ! 

2 Thee while the first archangel sings, 
He hides his face behind his wings, 
And ranks of shining thrones around 
Fall worshiping, and spread the ground. 

3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do? 
We would adore our Maker too ; 
From sin and dust to thee we cry, 
The Great, the Holy, and the High. 

i Earth, from afar, hath heard thy fame, 
And worms have learned to lisp thy name : 
But ! the glories of thy mind 
Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 

5 God is in heaven, and men below : 
Be short our tunes ; our words be few : 
A solemn reverence checks our songs, 
And praise sits silent on our tongues. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



C>y Living bread. 

1 Thy presence, gracious God, afford ; 
Prepare us to receive thy word : 
Now let thy voice engage our ear, 
And faith be mixed with what we hear. 

2 Distracting thoughts and cares remove, 
And fix our hearts and hopes above : 
With food divine may we be fed, 

And satisfied with living bread.

3 To us the sacred word apply 
With sovereign power and energy; 
And may we, in thy faith and fear, 
Reduce to practice what we hear. 

4 Father, in us thy Son reveal ; 
Teach us to know and do thy will : 
Thy saving power and love display, 
And guide us to the realms of day.

4t(_) God revealed to faith. 

1 Not here, as to the prophet's eye, 
The Lord upon his throne appears ; 

Nor seraphim responsive cry, 
"Holy! thrice holy ! " in our ears: 

2 Yet God is present in this place, 
Veiled in serener majesty; 

So full of glory, truth, and grace, 
That faith alone such light can see. 

3 Nor, as he in the temple taught, 

Is Christ within these walls revealed, 
When blind, and deaf, and dumb were 
brought, 
Lepers and lame, and all were healed : 

4 Yet here, when two or three shall meet, 
Or thronging multitudes are found, 

All may sit down at Jesus' feet, 
And hear from him the joyful sound. 

5 Send forth the seraphim, Lord, 
To touch thy servants' lips with fire ; 

Saviour, give them thy faithful word ; 
Come, Holy Ghost, their hearts inspire.

3 While in thy house we kneel, 
With trust and holy fear, 

Thy mercy and thy truth reveal, 
And lend a gracious ear. 

4 Lord, teach our hearts to pray, 
And tune our lips to sing; 

Nor from thy presence cast away 
The sacrifice we bring.

4r4r The great Shepherd with his flock. 

1 Jesus, where'er thy people meet, 
There they behold thy mercy-seat ; 
Where'er they seek thee, thou art found, 
And every place is hallowed ground. 

2 For thou, within no walls confined, 
Dost dwell with those of humble mind; 
Such ever bring thee where they come, 
And, going, take thee to their home. 

3 Great Shepherd of thy chosen few, 
Thy former mercies here renew ; 
Here, to our waiting hearts, proclaim 
The sweetness of thy saving name. 

4 Here may we prove the power of prayer 
To strengthen faith and sweeten care ; 

To teach our faint desires to rise, 
And bring all heaven before our eyes. 

WILLIAM COWPEE. 

•4LO Blest hour of prayer. 

1 Blest hour, when mortal man retires 
To hold communion with his God ; 

To send to Heaven his warm desires, 
And listen to the sacred word. 

2 Blest hour, when God himself draws nigh, 
Well pleased his people's voice to hear; 

To hush the penitential sigh, 
And wipe away the mourner's tear. 

3 Blest hour, for, where the Lord resorts, 
Foretastes of future bliss are given ; 

And mortals find his earthly courts 
The house of God, the gate of heaven.

4 Hail, peaceful hour ! supremely blest 
Amid the hours of worldly care ; 

The hour that yields the spirit rest, 
That sacred hour, the hour of prayer. 

5 And when my hours of prayer are past, 
And this frail tenement decays, 

Then may I spend in heaven at last 
A never-ending hour of praise.

Behold a cloud of incense rise ;

Shed in our hearts thy love abroad ; 

Thy gifts abundantly increase ; 
Enlarge, and All us all with God. 

3 Before thy sheep, great Shepherd, go, 
And guide into thy perfect will ; 

Cause us thy hallowed name to know ; 
The work of faith in us fulfill. 

4 Help us to make our calling sure ; 
let us all be saints indeed, 

And pure, as thou thyself art pure, 
Conformed in all things to our Head.

Present us sanctified to God, 
And perfected in love below.

Filled his temple, and repeated 
Each to each the alternate hymn : 

2 "Lord, thy glory fills the heaven; 
Earth is with its fullness store!; 

Unto thee be glory given, 
Holy, holy, holy Lord." 

3 Heaven is still with glory ringing ; 
Earth takes up the angels' cry, 

"Holy, holy, holy," singing, 
"Lord of hosts, Lord God most high." 

4 With his seraph train before him, 
With his holy Church below, 

Thus unite we to adore him : 
Bid we thus our anthem flow :

Earth is with its fullness stored; 

Unto thee be glory given, 
Holy, holy, holy Lord."

Worlds his mighty voice obeyed ; 

Laws which never shall be broken. 
For their guidance he hath made. 

3 Praise the Lord, for he is glorious ; 
Never shall his promise fail ;

Countless myriads, hovering round him, 
With his praises rend the sky.

Sweet the theme, a free salvation, 
Fruit of everlasting love.

1 Lord, when we bend before thy throne, 
And our confessions pour, 

O may we feel the sins we own, 
And hate what we deplore. 

2 Our contrite spirits pitying see ; 
True penitence impart ; 

And let a healing ray from thee 
Beam peace into each heart. 

3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, 
May we our wills resign ; 

And not a thought our bosom share 
Which is not wholly thine. 

4 And when, with heart and voice, we strive 
Our grateful hymns to raise, 

Let love divine within us live, 
And fill our souls with praise.

With love divine transported, tell —

Dwell richly in each heart ; 

That from the safe and narrow way 
We never may depart. 



3 Lord, from thy word remove the seal, 
Unfold its hidden store ; 

And, as we read, may we feel 
Its value more and more. 

4 Help us to see the Saviour's love 
Beaming from every page ; 

And let the thoughts of joys above 
Our inmost souls engage. 

5 Thus while thy word our footsteps 

guides, 
Shall we be truly blest; 
And safe arrive where love provides 
An everlasting rest.

How should our souls, on wings of love,

In us the heavenly flame ; 

Then shall our lips resound thy praise, 
Cur hearts adore thy name.

And fill thy dwellings here, 

Till life, and love, and joy divine,

"Come, great Redeemer, come, 

And bring the bright, the glorious day, 
That calls thy children home."

And let thy gospel's joyful sound, 
With power reach every heart. 

3 Here let the blind their sight obtain ; 
Here give the mourner rest ; 

Let Jesus here triumphant reign, 
Enthroned in every breast.

And fervent prayer arise, 

Till higher strains our tongues employ, 
In realms beyond the skies.

And raise to Christ our joyful strain ;

And saints on earth, with saints above, 
Your voices in his praise employ.

O bind us to each other, Lord, 
By one great bond,— the love of thee.

Till thou shalt bless our longing eyes 
With beams of everlasting day.

Sing ye the Lord Jehovah's praise ; 
His glorious name let all adore, 
From age to age, for evermore. 

2 Blest be that name, supremely blest, 
From the sun's rising to its rest ; 
Above the heavens his power is known, 
Through all the earth his goodness shown. 

3 Who is like God? so great, so high, 
He bows himself to view the sky; 
And yet, with condescending grace, 
Looks down upon the human race. 

4 He hears the uncomplaining moan 
Of those who sit and weep alone ; 
He lifts the mourner from the dust ; 
In him the poor may safely trust. 

5 O then, aloud, in joyful lays, 
Sing to the Lord Jehovah's 
His saving name let all adore, 
From age to age, for evermore.

To Holy Ghost be praises, 

To Father, and to Son ; 
The Church her voice upraises 

To thee, blest Three in One.

4 O Joyful homage. 

1 Awake, ye saints, awake! 
And hail this sacred day: 

In loftiest songs of praise 
Your joyful homage pay : 
Come, bless the day that God hath blest, 
The type of heaven's eternal rest. 

2 On this auspicious morn 
The Lord of life arose ; 



He burst the bars of death, 
And vanquished all our foes ; 
And now he pleads our cause above, 
And reaps the fruit of all his love. 

3 All hail, triumphant Lord! 

Heaven with bosannas rings, 
And earth, in humbler strains, 
Thy praise responsive sings : 
Worthy the Lamb, that once was slain, 
Through endless years to live and reign.

74: Sabbath and sanctuary joys. 

1 With joy we hail the sacred clay, 
Which God has called his own ; 

With joy the summons we obey, 
To worship at his throne. 

2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair ! 
As here thy servants throng 

To breathe the humble, fervent prayer, 
And pour the grateful song. 

3 Spirit of grace ! deign to dwell 
Within thy Church below ; 

Make her in holiness excel, 
With pure devotion glow. 

4 Let peace within her walls be found; 
Let all her sons unite, 

To spread with holy zeal around 
Her clear and shining light. 

5 Great God, we hail the sacred day, 
Which thou hast called thine own ; 

With joy the summons we obey 
To worship at thy throne. 

HARRIET AUBER. 

7S Easter Sunday. 

1 The Lord of Sabbath let us praise, 
In concert with the blest, 

Who, joyful, in harmonious lays 
Emplcy an endless rest. 

2 Thus, Lord, while we remember thee, 
We blest and pious grow ; 

By hymns of praise we learn to be 
Triumphant here below. 

3 On this glad day a brighter scene 
Of glory was displayed, 

By the eternal Word, than when 
This universe was made. 

4 He rises, who mankind has bought 
With grief and pain extreme : 



'Twas great to speak the world from naught : 
'Twas greater to redeem. 

SAMUEL WESLEY, JR. 

/ O We will rejoice, and be glad in it. 

1 This is the day the Lord hath made : 
earth, rejoice and sing ; 

Let songs of triumph hail the morn ; 
Hosanna to our King ! 

2 The Stone the builders set at naught, 
That Stone has now become 

The sure foundation and the strength 
Of Zion's heavenly dome. 

3 Christ is that Stone, rejected once, 
And numbered with the slain ; 

New raised in glory, o'er his Church 
Eternally to reign. 

4 This is the day the Lord hath made . 
earth, rejoice and sing; 

With songs of triumph hail the mom; 
Hosanna to our King !

77 Sabbath light. 

1 Again the Lord of Life and light 
Awakes the kindling ray, 

DispeJs the darkness of the night, 
And pours increasing day. 

2 what a night was that which wrapt 
A guilty world in gloom ! 

what a sun, which broke this day 
Triumphant from the tomb ! 

3 This day be grateful homage paid, 
And loud hosannas sung ; 

Let gladness dwell in every heart, 
And praise on every tongue. 

4 Ten thousand thousand lips shall join 
To hail this happy morn, 

Which scatters blessings from its wings 
On nations yet unborn.

/ O Ardent hope of heavenly rest. 

1 Lord of the Sabbath, hear our vows, 
On this thy day, in this thy house, 
And own, as grateful sacrifice, 

The songs which from thy servants rise. 

2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love ; 
But there 's a nobler rest above ; 

To that our laboring souls aspire 
With ardent hope and strong desire. 

3 No more fatigue, no more distress, 
Nor sin nor hell, shall reach the place ; 
No sighs shall mingle with the songs, 
Which warble from immortal tongues. 

4 No rude alarms of raging foes, 
No cares to break the long repose ; 
No midnight shade, no clouded sun, 
But sacred, high, eternal noon. 

5 long-expected day, begin ! 
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin : 
Fain would we leave this weary road, 
And sleep in death, to rest with God. 

PHILIP DODURIDGE. 



79 Sabbath evening : TJiy kingdom come. 

1 Millions within thy courts have met, 
Millions this day before thee bowed ; 

Their faces Zionward were set, 
Vows with their lips to thee they vowed. 

2 But thou, soul-searching God ! hast known 
The hearts of all that bent the knee ; 

And hast accepted those alone, 
Who in the spirit worshiped thee. 



3 People of many a tribe and tongue, 
Of various languages and lands, 

Have beard thy truth, thy glory sung, 
And offered prayer with holy hands. 

4 And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh, 
Hath failed this day some suit to gain ; 

To those in trouble thou wert nigh ; 
Not one hath sought thy face in vain. 

5 Yet one prayer more ;— and be it one, 
In which both heaven and earth accord ; 

Fulfill thy promise to thy Son : 
Let all that breathe call Jesus Lord ! 

JAMES MONTGOMERY. 



oU Sabbath evening rest. 

1 Sweet is the light of Sabbath eve, 
And soft the sunbeams lingering there; 

For these blest hours the world I leave, 
Wafted on wings of faith and prayer. 

2 The time how lovely and how still ! 
Peace shines and smiles on all below ; 

The plain, the stream, the wood, the hill, 
All fair with evening's setting glow. 

3 Season of rest ! the tranquil soul 

Feels the sweet calm, and melts to love; 
And while these sacred moments roll, 
Faith sees the smiling heaven above. 

4 Nor will our days of toil be long; 
Our pilgrimage will soon be trod ; 

And we shall join the ceaseless song, 
The endless Sabbath of our God.

81 Delights of the Sabbath. 

1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King, 
To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing ; 
To show thy love by morning light, 

And talk of all thy truth by night. 

2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest ; 

No mortal cares shall seize my breast ; 
may my heart in tune be found, 
Like David's harp of solemn sound. 

3 When grace has purified my heart, 
Then I shall share a glorious part ; 
And fresh supplies of joy be shed, 
Like holy oil, to cheer my head. 

4 Then shall I see, and hear, and know 
All I desired or wished below ; 

And every power find sweet employ 
In that eternal world of joy. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

f£ Pledge of glorious rest. 

1 Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest; 
Improve the day thy God hath blest : 
Another six days' work is done ; 
Another Sabbath is begun. 

2 that our thoughts and thanks may rise, 
As grateful incense to the skies, 

And draw from Christ that sweet repose, 
Which none but he that feels it knows ! 

3 This heavenly calm within the breast 
Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, 
Which for the Church of God remains ; 
The end of cares, the end of pains. 

4 In holy duties, let the day, 
In holy comforts pass away; 

How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend, 
In hope of one that ne'er shall end ! 



JOSEPH STENNETT.

00 Hailing the Sabbath's return. 

1 My opening eyes with rapture see 
The dawn of this returning day: 

My thoughts, O God, ascend to thee, 
While thus my early vows I pay. 

2 I yield my heart to thee alone, 
Nor would receive another guest : 

Eternal King, erect thy throne, 
And reign sole monarch in my breast. 

3 bid this trifling world retire, 

And drive each carnal thought away ; 
Nor let me feel one vain desire, 
One sinful thought, through all the day, 

4 Then, to thy courts when I repair, 
My soul shall rise on joyful wing ; 

The wonders of thy love declare, 
And join the strains which angels sing. 

JAMES BUTTON. 

Undisturbed devotion. 

1 Far from my thoughts, vain w r orld, 

gone! 

Let my religious hours alone : 
Fain would mine eyes my Saviour see ; 

1 wait a visit. Lord, from thee. 

2 warm my heart with holy fire, 
And kindle there a pure desire : 
Come, sacred Spirit, from above, 
And fill my soul with heavenly love. 

3 Blest Saviour, what delicious fare I 
How sweet thine entertainments are ! 
Never did angels taste above 
Redeeming grace and dying love. 

4 Hail, great Immanuel, all divine! 
In thee thy Father's glories shine ; 
Thy glorious name shall be adored, 
And every tongue confess thee Lord.

00 37ie Sabbath welcome. 

1 Welcome, sweet day of rest, 
That saw the Lord arise ; 

"Welcome to this reviving breast, 
And these rejoicing eyes ! 

2 The King himself comes near, 
And feasts his saints to-day ; 

Here we may sit, and see him here, 
And love, and praise, and pray. 

3 One day in such a place, 
Where thou, my God, art seen, 

Is sweeter than ten thousand days 
Of pleasurable sin. 

4 My willing soul would stay 
In such a frame as this, 

And sit and sing herself away 
To everlasting bliss. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



Bay of light, rest, peace, prayer. 

1 This is the day of light : 
Let there be light to-day ; 

O Day-spring, rise upon our night, 
And chaseits gloom away. 

2 This is the day of rest : 
Our f ailing strength renew ; 

On weary brain and troubled breast 
Shed thou thy freshening dew. 

3 This is the day of peace : 
Thy peace our spirits fill ; 

Bid thou the blasts of discord cease, 
The waves of strife be still. 



4 This is the day of prayer : 

Let earth to heaven draw near ; 
Lift up our hearts to seek thee there ; 
Come down to meet us here. 

5 This is the first of days: 

Send forth thy quickening breath, 
And wake dead souls to love and prais 
Vanquisher of death ! 

JOHN ELLERTON 



b7 Tlie eternal Sabbath. 

1 Hail to the Sabbath day ! 
The day divinely given, 

When men to God their homage pay, 
And earth draws near to heaven. 

2 Lord, in this sacred hour, 
Within thy courts we bend, 

And bless thy love, and own thy power, 
Our Father and our Friend. 

3 But thou art not alone 

In courts by mortals trod ; 
Nor only is the day thine own 
When man draws near to God : 

4 Thy temple is the arch 
Of yon unmeasured sky; 

Thy Sabbath, the stupendous march 
Of vast eternity. 

5 Lord, may that holier day 
Dawn on thy servants' sight ; 

And purer worship may we pay 
In heaven's unclouded light.

C50 Safely through another week. 

1 Safely through another week, 
God has brought us ou our way ; 

Let us now a blessing seek, 

Waiting in his courts to-day : 
Day of ail the week the best, 
Emblem of eternal rest. 

2 While we pray for pardoning grace, 
Through the dear Redeemer's name, 

THATCHER. 



Show thy reconciled face, 

Take away our sin and shame ; 
From our worldly cares set free, 
May we rest this day in thee. 

3 Here we come thy name to praise ; 
May we feel thy presence near : 

May thy glory meet our eyes, 

While we in thy house appear : 
Here afford us, Lord, a taste 
Of our everlasting feast. 

4 May thy gospel's joyful sound 
Conquer sinners, comfort saints ; 

Make the fruits of grace abound, 
Bring relief for all complaints : 
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove, 
Till we join the Church above.

1 Glad was my heart to hear 
My old companions say, 

"Come, in the house of God appear, 
For 'tis a holy day." 

2 Thither the tribes repair, 
Where all are wont to meet ; 



And, joyful in the house of prayer, 
Bend at the mercy-seat. 

8 Pray for Jerusalem, 

The city of our God; 
Lord, send thy blessing down tc them 

That love the dear abode. 

4 Within these walls may peace 
And harmony be found; 

Zion, in all thy palaces, 
Prosperity abound ! 

5 For friends and brethren dear, 
Our prayer shall never cease : 

Oft as they meet for worship here, 
God send his people peace !

y O Immortality and light. 

1 Day of God, thou blessed day, 
At thy dawn the grave gave way 
To the power of Him within, 
Who had, sinless, bled for sin. 

2 Thine the radiance to illume 
First, for man, the dismal tomb, 
When its bars their weakness owned, 
There revealing death dethroned. 

3 Then the Sun of righteousness 
Rose, a darkened world to bless, 
Bringing up from mortal night 
Immortality and light. 

4 Day of glory, day of power, 
Sacred be thine every hour ; 
Emblem, earnest, of the rest 
That remaineth for the blest. 

HANNAH F. GOULD. 



9 1 The first of days. 

1 On this day, the first of days, 
God the Father's name we praise ; 
Who, creation's Lord and Spring, 
Did the world from darkness bring. 

2 On this day the Eternal Son 
Over death his triumph won ; 
On this day the Spirit came 
With his gifts of living flame. 

3 O that fervent love to-day 
May in every heart have sway, 



34 



Teaching us to praise aright 
God the source of life and light ! 

4 God, the blessed Three in One, 
Dwell within my heart alone; 
Thou dost give thyself to me, 
May I give myself to thee. 

SIR HENRY W, BAKER. 



y £ Sabbath evening. 

1 Softly fades the twilight ray 
Of the holy Sabbath day ; 
Gently as life's setting sun, 
When the Christian's course is run. 

2 Night her solemn mantle spreads 
O'er the earth as daylight fades ; 
All things tell of calm repose, 

At the holy Sabbath's close. 

3 Peace is on the world abroad; 
'Tis the holy peace of God, 
Symbol of the peace within 
When the spirit rests from sin. 

4 Still the Spirit lingers near, 
Where the evening worshiper 
Seeks communion with the skies, 
Pressing onward to the prize. 

5 Saviour, may our Sabbaths be 
Days of joy and peace in thee, 
Till in heaven our souls repose, 
Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close.

1 Abide with me ! Fast falls the eventide, 
The darkness deepens— Lord, with me abide ! 
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, 
Help of the helpless, abide with me I 

2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day ; 
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away ; 
Change and decay in all around I see ; 

thou, who changest not, abide with me ! 

3 I need thy presence every passing hour; 
What but tby grace can foil the tempter's 

power? 
Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be ? 
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide 

with me ! 

4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless : 
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness ; 
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy 

victory? 

1 triumph still, if thou abide with me. 

5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes ; 
Shine through the gloom and point me to 

the skies ; 
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain 

shadows flee ; 
In life, in death, Lord, abide with me I

c)4r Parting hymn of praise. 

1 Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise, 
With one accord, our parting hymn of 

praise ; 
We stand to bless thee ere our worship 

cease, 
Then, lowly kneeling, wait thy word of peace. 

2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward 

way; 
With thee began, with thee shall end the 

day; 
Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from 

shame, 
That in this house have called upon thy 

name. 

3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the 

coming night, 
Turn thou for us its darkness into light; 
From harm and danger keep thy children 

free, 
For dark and light are both alike to thee. 

4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly 

life, 
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife ; 
Then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict 

cease, 
Call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace.

yO Renewed consecration. 

1 Once more, my soul, the rising day 
Salutes thy waking eyes ; 

Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay 
To Him that rules the skies. 

2 Night unto night his name repeats, 
The day renews the sound, 

Wide as the heavens on which he sits 
To turn the seasons round. 

3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame; 
My tongue shall speak his praise ; 

My sins might rouse his wrath to flame, 
But yet his wrath delays. 

4 Great God, let all my hours be thine, 
Whilst I enjoy the light ; 

Then shall my sun in smiles decline, 
And bring a peaceful night. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



yb Morning supplications. 

1 Awake, my soul, to meet the day; 
Unfold thy drowsy eyes, 

And burst the heavy chain that binds 
Thine active faculties. 

2 God's guardian shield was round 

spread 
In my defenseless sleep : 
Let him have all my waking hours 
Who doth my slumbers keep. 

3 Pardon, O God, my former sloth, 
And arm my soul with grace, 



As, rising, now I seal my vows 
To prosecute thy ways. 

4 Bright Sun of righteousness, arise ; 

Thy radiant beams display ; 
And guide my dark, bewildered soul 

To everlasting day. 

PHILIP DODDEIDGE. 



y 7 Angelic guardianship. 

1 All praise to Him who dwells in bliss, 
Who made both day and night ; 

Whose throne is in the vast abyss 
Of uncreated light. 

2 Each thought and deed his piercing eyes 
With strictest search survey ; 

The deepest shades no more disguise, 
Than the full blaze of day. 

3 Whom thou dost guard, King of kings, 
No evil shall molest : 

Under the shadow of thy wings 
Shall they securely rest. 

4 Thy angels shall around their beds 
Their constant stations keep : 

Thy faith and truth shall shield their heads. 
For thou dost never sleep. 

5 May we with calm and sweet repose. 
And heavenly thoughts refreshed. 

Our eyelids with the morn unclose, 
And bless thee, ever blest.

1 Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear 
My voice ascending high : 

To thee will I direct my prayer, 
To thee lift up mine eye : 

2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone, 
To plead for all his saints, 

Presenting, at the Father's throne, 
Our songs and our complaints. 

3 Thou art a God before whose sight 
The wicked shall not stand ; 

Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight, 
Nor dwell at thy right hand. 

4 Now to thy house will I resort, 
To taste thy mercies there ; 

I will frequent thy holy court, 
And worship in thy fear. 

5 may thy spirit guide my feet 
In ways of righteousness ; 

Make every path of duty straight, 
And plain before my face. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

yy Warmest thanks. 

1 Now from the altar of our hearts, 
Let warmest thanks arise ; 

Assist us, Lord, to offer up 
Our evening sacrifice. 

2 This day God was our sun and shield, 
Our keeper and our guide ; 

His care was on our weakness shown, 
His mercies multiplied. 

3 Minutes and mercies multiplied, 
Have made up all this day ; 

Minutes came quick, but mercies were 
More swift and free than they.

4 New time, new favors, and new joys, 

Do a new song require : 
Till we shall praise thee as we would, 

Accept our hearts' desire. 

JOHN MASON. 

_LOO Grateful praise. 

1 Lord of my life, may thy praise 
Employ my noblest powers, 

Whose goodness lengthens out my days, 
And fills the circling hours. 

2 While many spent the night in sighs, 
And restless pains and woes, 

In gentle sleep I closed my eyes, 
And undisturbed repose. 

3 let the same almighty care 
My waking hours attend ; 

From every danger, every snare, 
My heedless steps defend. 

ANNE STEELE. 

1(_)1 The Cliristian home. 

1 Happy the home when God is there, 
And love fills every breast ; 

When one their wish and one their prayer, 
And one their heavenly rest. 

2 Happy the home where Jesus' name 
Is sweet to every ear; 

Where children early lisp his fame, 
And parents hold him dear. 

3 Happy the home where prayer is heard, 
And praise is wont to rise ; 

Where parents love the sacred word, 
And live but for the skies. 

4 Lord, let us in our homes agree, 
This blessed peace to gain ; 

Unite our hearts in love to thee, 
And love to all will reign.

XO^ Abide with us. 

1 Sun of my soul, thou Saviour dear, 
It is not night if thou he near : 

O may no earthborn cloud arise 

To hide thee from thy servant's eyes. 

2 When the soft dews of Mndly sleep 
My wearied eyelids gently steep, 

Be my last thought, how sweet to rest 
Forever on my Saviour's breast. 

3 Abide with me from morn till eve, 
For without thee I cannot live ; 
Abide with me when night is nigh, 
For without thee I dare not die. 

4 If some poor wandering child of thine 
Have spurned, to-day, the voice divine, 
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin ; 
Let him no more lie down in sin. 

5 Watch by the sick ; enrich the poor 
With blessings from thy boundless store ; 
Be every mourner's sleep to-night, 
Like infant's slumbers, pure and light. 

6 Come near and bless us when we wake, 
Ere through the world our way we take ; 
Till in the ocean of thy love, 

We lose ourselves in heaven above. 

JOHN KEBLE. 



lOo Morning mercies, daily discipline. 

1 New every morning is the love 
Our wakening and uprising prove ; 
Through sleep and darkness safely brought, 
Restored to life, and power, and thought. 



38 



2 New mercies, each returning day, 
Hover around us while we pray; 
New perils past, new sins forgiven, 
New thoughts of God, new hopes of 

heaven. 

3 If on our daily course our mind 
Be set to hallow all we find, 

New treasures still of countless price 
God will provide for sacrifice. 

4 The trivial round, the common task, 
Will furnish all we ought to ask, — 
Room to deny ourselves, a road 

To bring us daily nearer God. 

5 Only, Lord, in thy dear love 
Fit us for perfect rest above ; 
And help us this, and every day, 
To live more nearly as we pray. 

JOHN KEBLE. 



X04r Morning ind evening mercies. 

1 My God, how endless is thy love ! 
Thy gifts are every evening new; 

And morning mercies from above, 
Gently distill like early dew. 

2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night, 
Great Guardian of my sleeping hours ; 

Thy sovereign word restores the light, 
And quickens all my drowsy powers. 

3 I yield my powers to thy command ; 
To thee I consecrate my days ; 

Perpetual blessings from thy hand 
Demand perpetual songs of praise.

1 Glory to thee, my God, this night, 
For all the blessings of the light : 
Keep me, keep me, King of kings, 
Beneath the shadow of thy wings. 

2 Forgive me. Lord, for thy dear Son, 
The ill which I this day have done ; 
That with the world, myself, and thee, 
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 

3 Teach me to live, that I may dread 
The grave as little as my bed ; 
Teach me to die. that so I may 
Rise glorious at the judgment-day. 

4 O let my soul on thee repose, 

And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close : 
Sleep, which shall me more vigorous make, 
To serve my God, when I awake. 

5 Lord, let my soul forever share 
The bliss of thy paternal care : 

"'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, 
To see thy face, and sing thy love. 

THOMAS KEN. 



106 Morn in ghymn. 

1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun 
Thy daily stage of duty run ; 

Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise 
To pay thy morning sacrifice. 

2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, 
And with the angels bear thy part. 
Who all night long unwearied sing 
High praises to the eternal King. 



3 All praise to thee, who safe hast kept, 
And hast refreshed me while I slept : 
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, 
I may of endless life partake. 

4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew : 
Disperse my sins as morning dew ; 
Guard my first springs of thought and will, 
And with thyself my spirit fill. 

5 Direct, control, suggest this day, 
All I design, or do, or say ; 

That all my powers, with all their might, 
In thy sole glory may unite. 

THOMAS KEN. 



IO / Morning prayer. 

1 Now doth the sun ascend the sky, 
And wake creation with its ray; 

Keep us from sin, Lord most high, 
Through all the actions of the day. 

2 Curb thou for us the unruly tongue ; 
Teach us the way of peace to prize ; 

And close our eyes against the throng 
Of earth's absorbing vanities. 

3 may our hearts be pure within ; 
No cherished madness vex the soul : 

May abstinence the flesh restrain, 
And its rebellious pride control. 

4 So when the evening stars appear. 
And in their train the darkness bring. 

May we, Lord, with conscience clear, 
Our praise to thy pure glory sing.

JL\JO Evening meditations. 

1 Thus far the Lord hath led me on, 
Thus far his power prolongs my days ; 

And every evening shall make known 
Some fresh memorial of his grace. 

2 Much of my time has run to waste, 
And I, perhaps, am near my home ; 

But he forgives my follies past, 
And gives me strength for days to come. 



3 I lay my body down to 
Peace is the pillow for my head ; 

While well-appointed angels keep 
Their watchful stations round my bed. 

4 Thus, when the night of death shall come, 
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, 

And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, 
With sweet salvation in the sound. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



_LvJy Evening prayer. 

1 Again as evening's shadow falls, 
We gather in these hallowed walls ; 
And vesper hymn and vesper prayer 
Kise mingling on the holy air. 

2 May struggling hearts that seek release 
Here find the rest of God's own peace ; 
And, strengthened here by hymn and prayer, 
Lay down the burden and the care. 

3 God, our light ! to thee we bow ; 
Within all shadows standest thou; 
Give deeper calm than night can bring ; 
Give sweeter songs than lips can sing. 



4 Life's tumult we must meet again, 
We cannot at the shrine remain ; 
But in the Spirit's secret cell 
May hymn and prayer forever dwell.

The soul's Advocate. 

1 When, streaming from the eastern skies, 
The morning light salutes mine eyes, 

Sun of righteousness divine ! 
On me with beams of mercy shine ; 
chase the clouds of guilt away, 
And turn my darkness into day. 

2 And when to heaven's all-glorious King 
My morning sacrifice I bring, 

And, mourning o'er my guilt and shame, 
Ask mercy in my Saviour's name ; 
Then, Jesus, cleanse me with thy blood, 
And be my Advocate with God. 

3 When each day's scenes and labors close, 
And wearied nature seeks repose, 

With pardoning mercy richly blest, 
Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest ; 
And, as each morning sun shall rise, 
lead me onward to the skies. 

4 And at my life's last setting sun, 
My conflicts o'er, my labors done, 
Jesus, thy heavenly radiance shed, 
To cheer and bless my dying bed; 

And, from death's gloom my spirit raise, 
To see thy face, and sing thy praise.

111 The Day-star. 

1 We lift our hearts to thee, 
Day-star from on high ! 

The sun itself is but thy shade, 
Yet cheers both earth and sky. 

2 O let thy rising beams 

The night of sin disperse, — 

The mists of error and of vice 

Which shade the universe. 

3 How beauteous nature now ! 
How dark and sad before ! 

With joy we view the pleasing change, 
And nature's God adore. 

4 may no gloomy crime 
Pollute the rising day ; 

Or Jesus' blood, like evening dew, 
Wash all the stains away. 

5 May we this life improve, 
To mourn for errors past ; 

And live this short revolving day 
As if it were our last. 

JOHN WESLEY. 

11^ Devout gratitude. 

1 See how the morning sun 
Pursues his shining way ; 

And wide proclaims his Maker's praise, 
With every brightening ray. 

2 Thus would my rising soul 
Its heavenly Parent sing, 

And to its great Original 
The humble tribute bring. 

3 Serene I laid me down, 
Beneath his guardian care ; 

I slept, and I awoke, and found 
My kind Preserver near. 

4 My life I would anew 
Devote, O Lord, to thee ; 

And in thy service I would spend 
A long eternity.

J Lo Evening meditation. 

1 The day is past and gone, 
The evening shades appear ; 

may we all remember well 
The nignt of death draws near. 

2 We lay our garments by, 
Upon our beds to rest ; 

So death will soon disrobe us all 
Of what we 've here possessed. 

3 Lord, keep us safe this night, 
Secure from all our fears ; 

May angels guard us while we sleep, 
Till morning light appears. 

4 And when we early rise, 
And view the unwearied sun, 

May we set out to win the prize, 
And after glory run. 

5 And when our days are past, 
And we from time remove, 

may we in thy bosom rest, 
The bosom of thy love. 

JOHN LELANP. 



[C. M. Tune, Evan. Page 156.] 
_L J_4r Protection invoked. 

1 In mercy, Lord, remember me, 
Through all the hours of night, 

And grant to me most graciously 
The safeguard of thy might. 

2 With cheerful heart I close mine eyes, 
Sinc,e thou wilt not remove ; 

in the morning let me rise 
Rejoicing in thy love. 

3 Or if this night should prove my last, 
And end my transient days, 

Lord, take me to thy promised rest, 
Where I may sing thy praise.

H O Memories of the dead. 

1 Silently the shades of evening 
Gather round my lowly door; 

Silently they bring before me 
Faces I shall see no more. 

2 the lost, the unforgotten, 
Though the world be oft forgot ! 

O the shrouded and the lonely, 
In our hearts they perish not ! 

3 Living in the silent hours, 
Where our spirits only blend, 

They, unlinked with earthly trouble, 
We, still hoping for its end. 

4 How such holy memories cluster, 
Like the stars when storms are past, 

Pointing up to that fair heaven 
We may hope to gain at last.

MERCY. 



HO Trust in God's care. 

1 Saviour, breathe an evening blessing, 
Ere repose our spirits seal ; 

Sin and want we come confessing ; 
Thou canst save and thou canst heal. 

2 Though destruction walk around us, 
Though the arrows past us fly, 

Angel guards from thee surround us; 
We are safe, if thou art nigh. 

3 Thougli the night be dark and dreary, 
Darkness cannot hide from thee ; 

Thou art he who, never weary, 
Watchest where thy people be. 

4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us, 
And our couch become our tomb, 

May the morn in heaven awake us, 
Clad in light and deathless bloom.

Naught escapes, without, within,

Shall forever pass away; 
Then, from sin and sorrow free, 
Take us, Lord, to dwell with thee.

1 O God, of good the unfathomed sea! 
Who would not give his heart to thee ? 

Who would not love thee with his might? 
O Jesus, lover of mankind, 
Who would not his whole soul and mind, 

With all his strength, to thee unite? 

2 Thou shin'st with everlasting rays ; 
Before the insufferable blaze 

Angels with both wings veil their eyes ; 
Yet free as air thy bounty streams ; 
On all thy works thy mercy's beams, 

Diffusive as thy sun's, arise. 



3 Astonished at thy frowning brow, 
Earth, hell, and heaven's strong pillars bow : 

Terrible majesty is thine ! 
Who then can that vast love express 
Which bows thee down to me,— who less 

Than nothing am, till thou art mine ! 

4 High throned on heaven's eternal hill, 
In number, weight, and measure, still 

Thou sweetly orderest all that is ; 
And yet thou deign'st to come to me, 
And guide my steps, that I, with thee 

Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss.

A tongue in every flower, 

Which tells, O Lord, the wondrous tale 

Of thy almighty power ; 
The birds, that rise on quivering wing, 

Proclaim their Maker's praise, 
And all the mingling sounds of spring 

To thee an anthem raise. 

2 Shall I be mute, great God, alone 
'Midst nature's loud acclaim ? 

Shall not my heart, with answering tone, 
Breathe forth thy holy name? 

All nature's debt is small to mine; 
Nature shall cease to be ; 

Thou gavest— proof of love divine — 
Immortal life to me.

1 Lord, all I am is known to thee ; 
In vain my soul would try 

To shun thy presence, or to flee 
The notice of thine eye. 

2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys 
My rising and my rest, 

My public walks, my private ways, 
The secrets of my breast. 

3 My thoughts lie open to thee, Lord, 
Before they 're formed within ; 

And ere my lips pronounce the word, 
Thou know'st the sense I mean. 

4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high ! 
Where can a creature hide? 

Within thy circling arms I lie, 
Beset on every side. 

5 So let thy grace surround me still, 
And like a bulwark prove, 

To guard my soul from every ill, 
Secured by sovereign love. 



5AAC WATTS. 



l,o4: The Author of every perfect gift. 

1 Father, to thee my soul I lift ; 
My soul on thee depends ; 

Convinced that every perfect gift 
From thee alone descends. 

2 Mercy and grace are thine alone, 
And power and wisdom too : 

Without the Spirit of thy Son, 
We nothing good can do. 

3 We cannot speak one useful word, 
One holy thought conceive, 

Unless, in answer to our Lord, 
Thyself the blessing give. 



4 His blood demands the purchased grace : 
His blood's availing plea 

Obtained the help for all our race, 
And sends it down to me. 

5 From thee, through Jesus, we receive 
The power on thee to call, 

In whom we are, and move, and live ; 
Our God is all in all. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

125 My Father. 

1 O God, thy power is wonderful, 
Thy glory passing bright ; 

Thy wisdom, with its deep on deep, 
A rapture to the sight. 

2 I see thee in the eternal years 
In glory all alone, 

Ere round thine uncreated fires 
Created light had shone. 

3 I see thee walk in Eden's shade, 
I see thee all through time ; 

Thy patience and compassion seem 
New attributes sublime. 

4 I see thee when the doom is o'er, 
And outworn time is done, 

Still, still incomprehensible, 
O God, yet not alone. 

5 Angelic spirits, countless souls, 
Of thee have drunk their fill ; 

And to eternity will drink 
Thy joy and glory still. 

6 O little heart of mine ! shall pain 
Or sorrow make thee moan, 

When all this God is all for thee, 
A Father all thine own ?

Thee to perfection who can know? 

height immense ! what words suffice 
Thy countless attributes to show?

Greatness, whose undiminished ray, 

When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine,

Essential life's unbounded sea, 
What lives and moves, lives by thy word ; 

It. lives, and moves, and is, from thee. 
4 High is thy power above all height ; 

Whate'er thy will decrees is done ; 
Thy wisdom, equal to thy might, 

Only to thee, God, is known ! 

ERNEST LAXGE. TR. BY J. WESLEY. 
SECOOT PART. 

Wisdom, love, power. ' 

1 Thine, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone ; 
Justice and truth before thee stand : 

Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne, 
Mercy withholds thy lifted hand. 

2 Each evening shows thy tender love, 
Each rising morn thy plenteous grace; 

Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move, 
Thy willing mercy flies apace. 

3 To thy benign, indulgent care, 
Father, this light, this breath, we owe ; 

And all we have, and all we are, 
From thee, great Source of being, flow. 

4 Thrice Holy ! thine the kingdom is, 
The power omnipotent is thine ; 

And when created nature dies, 
Thy never-ceasing glories shine. 

ERNEST LANGE. TR. BY J. WESLEY.

l/^O Immanuel, God with us. 

1 Eternal depth of love divine, 
In Jesus, God with us, displayed ; 

How bright thy beaming glories shine ! 
How wide thy healing streams are 



46 



2 With whom dost thou delight to dwell? 
Sinners, a vile and thankless race ! 

O God, what tongue aright can tell 
How vast thy love, how great thy 
grace ! 

3 The dictates of thy sovereign will 
With jov our grateful hearts receive ; 

All thy delight in us fulfill ; 
Lo, all we are to thee we give. 

4 To thy sure love, thy tender care, 
Our flesh, soul, spirit, we resign; 

fix thy sacred presence there, 
And seal the abode forever thine. 

KICOLAUS L. ZINZENDORF. TR. BY J. WESLXY. 



12t) For the grace of the Holy Trinity. 

1 Blest Spirit, one with God above, 
Thou source of life and holy love, 

O cheer us with thy sacred beams, 
Refresh us with thy plenteous streams. 

2 may our lips confess thy name, 
Our holy lives thy power proclaim ; 
With love divine our hearts inspire, 
And All us with thy holy fire. 

3 holy Father, holy Son, 
And Holy Spirit, Three in One, 
Thy grace devoutly we implore ; 
Thy name be praised for evermore.

ldU Incomprehensible glory. 

1 God is the name my soul adores, 
The almighty Three, the eternal One : 

Nature and grace, with all their powers, 
Confefc the Infinite Unknown. 

2 Thy voice produced the sea and spheres, 
Bade the waves roar, the planets shine ; 

But nothing like thyself appears 
Through all these spacious works of thine. 

3 Still restless nature dies and grows ; 
From change to change the creatures run : 

Thy heing no succession knows, 
And all thy vast designs are one. 

4 A glance of thine runs through the globe, 
Rules the bright worlds, and moves their 

frame ; 
Of light thou form'st thy dazzling robe; 
Thy ministers are living flame. 

5 How shall polluted mortals dare 
To sing thy glory or thy grace ? 

Beneath thy feet we lie a'far, 
And see but shadows of thy face. 

6 Who can behold the blazing light? 
Who can approach consuming flame ? 

None but thy wisdom knows thy might ; 
None but thy word can speak thy name. 



ISAAC WAITS. 



jLol Jehovah's holiness. 

1 Holy as thou, Lord, is none ; 
Thy holiness is all thine own ; 
A drop of that unbounded sea 
Is ours,— a drop derived from thee : 



2 And when thy purity we share, 
Thine only glory we declare ; 
And, humbled into nothing, own, 
Holy and pure is God alone. 

3 Sole, self-existing God and Lord, 
By all thy heavenly hosts adored, 
Let all on earth bow down to thee, 
And own thy peerless majesty : 

4 Thy power unparalleled confess, 
Established on the rock of peace ; 
The rock that never shall remove, 
The rock of pure, almighty love. 

CHABLES WESLEY. 



J_0 <5 From everlasting to everlasting. 

1 Ere mountains reared their forms sub- 

lime, 
Or heaven and earth in order stood, 
Before the birth of ancient time, 
From everlasting thou art God. 

2 A thousand ages, in their flight, 
With thee are as a fleeting day ; 

Past, present, future, to thy sight 
At once their various scenes display* 

3 But our brief life 's a shadowy dream, 
A passing thought that soon is o'er, 

That fades^with morning's earliest beam, 
And fills the musing mind no more. 

4 To us, Lord, the wisdom give 
Each passing moment so to spend, 

That we at length with thee may live 
Where life and bliss shall never end.

Id O Omnipotence and wisdom. 

1 Come, my soul, in sacred lays, 
Attempt thy great Creator's praise : 
But what tongue can speak his fame ? 
What mortal verse can reach the theme? 

2 Enthroned amid the radiant spheres, 
He glory like a garment wears ; 

To form a robe of light divine, 

Ten thousand suns around him shine. 

3 In all our Maker's grand designs, 
Omnipotence, with wisdom, shines; 

His works, through all this wondrous frame, 
Declare the glory of his name. 

4 Raised on devotion's lofty wing, 
Do thou, my soul, his glories sing ; 
And let his praise employ thy tongue, 
Till listening worlds shall join the song. 

THOJIAS BLACKLOCK. 



1 3 4r The Lord is King. 

1 The Lord is King ! lift up thy voice, 
O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice ! 
From world to world the joy shall ring, 
The Lord omnipotent is King. 

2 The Lord is King ! child of the dust, 
The Judge of all the earth is just ; 
Holy and true are all his ways : 

Let every creature speak his praise. 

3 He reigns ! ye saints, exalt your strains ; 
Your God is King, your Father reigns ; 
And he is at the Father's side, 

The Man of love, the Crucified. 



4 Come, make your wants, your burdens 

known, 
He will present them at the throne ; 
And angel bands are waiting there 
His messages of love to bear. 

5 when his wisdom can mistake, 
His might decay, his love forsake, 
Then may his children cease to sing, 
The Lord omnipotent is King. 

JOSIAH CONDEli. 



IdO Omnipresence. 

1 Lord of all being ! throned afar, 
Thy glory flames from sun and star; 
Center and soul of every sphere, 
Yet to each loving heart how near ! 

2 Sun of our life, thy quickening ray 
Sheds on our path the glow of day; 
Star of our hope, thy softened light 
Cheers the long watches of the night. 

3 Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn ; 
Our noontide is thy gracious dawn ; 
Our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign ; 
All, save the clouds of sin, are thine ! 

4 Lord of all life, below, above, 

Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, 
Before thy ever-blazing throne 
We ask no luster of our own. 

5 Grant us thy truth to make us free, 
And kindling hearts that burn for thee, 
Till all thv living altars claim 

One holy light, one heavenly flame.

loo TAe heavens declare His glory. 

1 The spacious firmament on nigh, 
With all the blue ethereal sky. 

And spangled heavens, a shining frame, 

Their great- Original proclaim: 

The unwearied sun, from day to day, 

Does his Creator's power display, 

And publishes to every land 

The work of an almighty hand. 

2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, 
The moon takes up the wondrous tale, 
And nightly, to the listening earth, 
Repeats the story of her birth ; ' 
While all the stars that round her burn, 
And all the planets in their turn, 
Confirm the tidings as they roll, 

And spread the truth from pole to pole. 

3 What though in solemn silence all 
Move round the dark terrestrial ball? 
What though no real voice nor sound 
Amid the radiant orbs be found? 

In reason's ear they all rejoice, 
And utter forth a glorious voice ; 
Forever singing as they shine, 
"The hand that made us is divine." 

JOSEPH ADDISON. 



50 



J_oy Jehovah's sovereignty. 

1 Father of all, whose powerful voice 
Called forth this universal frame ! 

Whose mercies over all rejoice, 
Through endless ages still the same; 

Thou by thy word upholdest all ; 
Thy bounteous love to all is showed ; 

Thou hear'st thy every creature's call, 
And flllest every mouth with good. 

2 In heaven thou reign'st enthroned in light, 
Nature's expanse before thee spread ; 

Earth, air, and sea, before thy sight, 
And hell's deep gloom, are open laid : 

Wisdom, and might, and love are thine ; 
Prostrate before thy face we fall, 

Confess thine attributes divine, 
And hail thee sovereign Lord of all. 

3 Blessing and honor, praise and love, 
Co-equal, co-eternal Three, 

In earth below, in heaven above, 
By all thy works, be paid to thee. 

Let all who owe to thee their birth, 
In praises every hour employ ; 

Jehovah reigns! be glad, O earth, 
And shout, ye morning stars, for joy !

14LO Worshiping the King. 

1 worship the King all-glorious above, 
And gratefully sing his wonderful love; 
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of 

days, 
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with 
praise. 

2 tell of his might, and sing of his grace, 
"Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space ; 
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder- 
clouds form, 

And dark is his path on the wings of the 
storm. 

3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite ? 
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, 
It streams from the hills, it descends to the 

plain, 
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 

4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, 
In thee do we trust, nor tind thee to fail ; 
Thy mercies how tender ! how firm to the 

end! 
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. 

SIB BOBEBT GBANT. 



JL4r_L The Lord will provide. 

1 Though troubles assail, and dangers 

affright, 
Though friends should all fail, and foes all 

unite, 
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, 
The promise assures us, "The Lord will 

provide." 



2 The birds, without barn or store-house, 

are fed ; 

From them let us learn to trust for our 
bread : 

His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be de- 
nied, 

So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will 
provide." 

3 When Satan appears to stop up our path, 
And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith ; 
He cannot take from us, though oft he has 

tried, 
The heart-cheering promise, "The Lord 
will provide." 

4 He tells us we 're* weak, our hope is in 

vain; 
The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain ; 
But when such suggestions our graces have 

tried, 
This answers all questions, "The Lord will 

provide." 

5 No strength of our own, nor goodness we 

claim ; 
Our trust is all thrown on Jesus's name : 
In this our strong tower for safety we hide ; 
The Lord is our power, "The Lord will 

provide." 

6 When life sinks apace, and death is in 

view, 
The word of his grace shall comfort us 

through : 
Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our 

side, 
We hope to die shouting, "The Lord will 

provide."

14 2 Wondrous condescension. 

1 The Lord Jehovah reigns, 
His throne is built on high ; 

The garments he assumes 
Are light and majesty : 
His glories shine with beams so bright, 
No mortal eye can bear the sight. 

2 The thunders of his hand 
Keep the wide world in awe ; 

His wrath and justice stand 
To guard his holy law ; 
And where his love resolves to bless, 
His truth confirms and seals the grace. 



DAVID.

3 Through all his mighty works 
Amazing wisdom shines ; 

Confounds the powers of hell, 
And all their dark designs; 
Strong is his arm, and shall fulfill 
His great decrees and sovereign will. 

4 And will this sovereign King 
Of glory condescend, 

And will he write his name, 
My Father and my Friend? 
I love his name, I love his word ; 
Join all my powers to praise the Lord.

14r4: Praise to the Trinity. 

1 Holy, holy, holy Lord, 
God of hosts, eternal King, 

By the heavens and earth adored ; 

Angels and archangels sing, 
Chanting everlastingly 
To the blessed Trinity. 

2 Since by thee were all things made, 
And in thee do all things live, 

Be to thee all honor paid ; 

Praise to thee let all things give, 
Singing everlastingly 
To the blessed Trinity. 

3 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, 
Spirits blest, before the throne, 

Speeding thence at thy command, 

And, when thy commands are done, 
Singing everlastingly 
To the blessed Trinity. 

4 Cherubim and seraphim 

Veil their faces with their wings ; 
Eyes of angels are too dim 

To behold the King of kings, 
"While they sing eternally 
To the blessed Trinity. 

5 Thee apostles, prophets thee, 
Thee the noble martyr band, 

Praise with solemn jubilee, 

Thee, the Church in every land ; 
Singing everlastingly 
To the blessed Trinity. 



6 Hallelujah ! Lord, to thee, 
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ; 

Godhead One, and Persons Three ; 
Join us with the heavenly host, 

Singing everlastingly 

To the blessed Trinity. 



CHRISTOPHER WORDSWORTH. 



_L4rO Worship the Creator. 

1 Let us with a gladsome mind 
Praise the Lord, for he is kind, 
For his mercies shall endure, 
Ever faithful, ever sure. 

Let us sound his name abroad, 
For of gods he is the God 
Who by wisdom did create 
Heaven's expanse and all its state ; 

2 Did the solid earth ordain 
How to rise above the main ; 
Who, by his commanding might, 
Filled the new-made world with light: 
Caused the golden-tressed sun 

All the day his course to run ; 
And the moon to shine by night, 
'Mid her spangled sisters bright. 

3 All his creatures God doth feed, 
His full hand supplies their need ; 
He hath with a pitying eye 
Looked upon our misery : 

Let us, therefore, warble forth 
His high majesty and worth, 
For his mercies shall endure, 
Ever faithful, ever sure.

14r6 Glory, mercy, grace. 

1 Father, how wide thy glory shines, 
How high thy wonders rise! 

Known through the earth by thousand 
signs, 
By thousands through the skies. 

2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power; 
Their motions speak thy skill : 

And ou the wings of every hour 
We read thy patience still. 

3 Part of thy name divinely stands 
On all thy creatures writ ; 

They show the labor of thy hands, 
Or impress of thy feet ; 

4 But when we view thy strange design 
To save rebellious worms, 

Where vengeance and compassion join 
In their divinest forms ; 

5 Here the whole Deity is known, 
Nor dares a creature guess 

Which of the glories brighter shone, 
The justice or the grace. 

6 Now the full glories of the Lamb 
Adorn the heavenly plains ; 

Bright seraphs learn Immanuel's name, 
And try their choicest strains. 

7 O may I bear some humble part 
In that immortal song ! 

Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, 
And love command my tongue. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



JL4r/ Majesty and love of God. 

1 My God, how wonderful thou art, 
Thy majesty how bright, 

How beautiful thy mercy-seat 
In depths of burning light ! 

2 How dread are thine eternal years, 
O everlasting Lord, 

By prostrate spirits day and night 
Incessantly adored ! 

3 How beautiful, how beautiful, 
The sight of thee must be, 

Thine endless wisdom, boundless power, 
And awful purity ! 

4 how I fear thee, living God, 
With deepest, tenderest fears, 

And Worship thee with trembling hope, 
And penitential tears. 

5 Yet I may love thee too, O Lord, 
Almighty as thou art ; 

For thou hast stooped to ask of me 
The love of my poor heart. 

6 No earthly father loves like thee, 
No mother half so mild 

Bears and forbears as thou hast done 
With me, thy sinful child. 

7 Father of Jesus, love's reward ! 
What rapture will it be, 

Prostrate before thy throne to he, 
And gaze, and gaze on thee !

1 Mighty God ! while angels bless thee, 
May a mortal lisp thy name ? 

Lord of men, as well as angels, 
Thou art every creature's theme : 

Lord of every land and nation, 
Ancient of eternal days ! 

Sounded through the wide creation 
Be thy just and awful praise. 

2 For the grandeur of thy nature, 
Grand beyond a seraph's thought ; 

For the wonders of creation, 

Works with skill and kindness wrought ; 
For thy providence, that governs 

Through thine empire's wide domain, 
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow ; 

Blessed be thy gentle reign ! 

3 For thy rich, thy free redemption, 
Bright, though veiled in darkness long, 

Thought is poor, and poor expression ; 

Who can sing that wondrous song? 
Brightness of the Father's glory ! 

Shall thy praise unuttered lie ? 
Break, my tongue, such guilty silence, 

Sing the Lord who came to die:— 

4 From the highest throne of glory, 
To the cross of deepest woe, 

Came to ransom guilty captives : 
Flow, my praise, forever flow ! 

Re-ascend, immortal Saviour ; 
Leave thy footstool, take thy throne ; 

Thence return and reign forever ; 
Be the kingdom all thine own ! 

ROBERT ROBINSON. 



JL^dtt) The wideness of God's mercy. 

1 There 's a wideness in God's mercy, 
Like the wideness of the sea : 

There's a kindness in his justice, 
Which is more than liberty. 

2 There is welcome for the sinner, 
And more graces for the good : 

There is mercy with the Saviour ; 
There is healing in his blood. 

3 For the love of God is broader 
Than the measure of man's mind ; 

And the heart of the Eternal 
Is most wonderfully kind. 

4 If our love were but more simple, 
We should take him at his word; 

And our lives would be all sunshine 
In the sweetness of our Lord. 

FREDERICK W. FABER. 

lOU Unchanging wisdom and love. 

1 God is love ; his mercy brightens 
All the path in which we rove ; 

Bliss he wakes and woe he lightens ; 
God is wisdom, God is love. 

2 Chance and change are busy ever ; 
Man decays, and ages move ; 

But his mercy waneth never ; 
God is wisdom, God is love. 

3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth, 
Will his changeless goodness prove ; 

From the gloom his brightness streametu, 
God is wisdom, God is love. 

4 He with earthly cares entwineth 
Hope and comfort from above ; 

Every- where his glory shineth ; 
God is wisdom, God is love.

lOl Majesty and providence. 

1 The Lord our God is clothed with might, 
The winds obey his will; 

He speaks, and in his heavenly height 
The rolling sun stands still. 

2 Rebel, ye waves, and o'er the land 
With threatening aspect roar ; 

The Lord uplifts his awful hand, 
And chains you to the shore. 

3 Ye winds of night, your force combine ; 
Without his high behest, 

Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, 
Disturb the sparrow's nest. 

4 His voice sublime is heard afar ; 
In distant peals it dies ; 

He yokes the whirlwind to his car, 
And sweeps the howling skies. 

5 Ye sons of earth, in reverence bend ; 
Ye nations, wait his nod ; 

And bid the choral song ascend 
To celebrate our God. 

H. K1EKE WH1TK. 



152 The Lord is King. 

1 The Lord descended from above, 
And bowed the heavens most high, 

And underneath his feet he cast 
The darkness of the sky. 

2 On cherubim and seraphim 
Full royally he rode, 

And on the wings of mighty winds 
Came flying all abroad. 

3 He sat serene upon the floods, 
Their fury to restrain ; 



And he, as sovereign Lord and King, 
For evermore shall reign. 

4 Give glory to his awful name, 

And honor him alone ; 
Give worship to his majesty 

Upon his holy throne. 

THOMAS STEBNHOLD. 



15d Praise from all creation. 

1 Praise ye the Lord, ye immortal choirs 
That fill the worlds above ; 

Praise him who formed you of his fires, 
And feeds you with his love. 

2 Shine to his praise, ye crystal skies, 
The floor of his abode ; 

Or veil in shades your thousand eyes 
Before your brighter God. 

3 Thou restless globe of golden light, 
Whose beams create our days, 

Join with the silver queen of night, 
To own your borrowed rays. 

4 Thunder and hail, and fire and storms, 
The troops of his command, 

Appear in all your dreadful forms, 
And speak his awful hand. 

5 Shout to the Lord, ye surging seas, 
In your eternal roar ; 

Let wave to wave resound his praise, 
And shore reply to shore. 

6 Thus while the meaner creatures sing, 
Ye mortals, catch the sound ; 

Echo the glories of your King 
Through all the nations round.

l04r Goodness and mercy. 

1 Let every tongue thy goodness speak, 
Thou sovereign Lord of all ; 

Thy strengthening hands uphold the weak, 
And raise the poor that fall. 

2 When sorrows bow the spirit down, 
When virtue lies distressed, 

Beneath the proud oppressor's frown, 
Thou giv'st the mourner rest. 

3 Thou know'st the pains thy servants feel, 
Thou hear'st thy. children's cry; 

And their best wishes to fulfill, 
Thy grace is ever nigh. 

4 Thy mercy never shall remove 
From men of heart sincere : 

Thou sav'st the souls whose humble love 
Is joined with holy fear. 

5 My lips shall dwell upon thy praise, 
And spread thy fame abroad ; 

Let all the sons of Adam raise 
The honors of their God. 



lOO The angelic guard. 

1 Which of the monarchs of the earth 
Can boast a guard like ours, 

Encircled from our second birth 
With all the heavenly powers? 

2 Myriads of bright, cherubic bands. 
Sent by the King of kings, 

Kejoice to bear us in their hands, 
And shade us with their wings. 

3 Angels, where'er we go, attend 
Our steps, whate'er betide ; 



With watchful care their charge defend, 
And evil turn aside. 

4 Our lives those holy angels keep 
From every hostile power ; 

And, unconcerned, we sweetly sleep, 
As Adam in his bower. 

5 And when our spirits we resign, 
On outstretched wings they bear, 

And lodge us in the arms divine, 
And leave us ever there. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



lo6 The twenty-third Psalm. 

1 The Lord 's my Shepherd, I '11 not want : 
He makes me down to lie 

In pastures green ; he leadeth me 
The quiet waters by. 

2 My soul he doth restore again; 
And me to walk doth make 

Within the paths of righteousness, 
E'en for his own name's sake. 

3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark 

vale, 
Yet will I fear no ill ; 
For thou art with me, and thy rod 
And staff me comfort still. 

4 A table thou hast furnished me 
In presence of my foes ; 

My head thou dost with oil anoint, 
And my cup overflows. 

5 Goodness and mercy all my life 
Shall surely follow me ; 

And in God's house for evermore 
My dwelling-place shall be.

l07 Rejoicing in deliverance. 

1 O Thou, who, when we did complain, 
Didst all our griefs remove, 

Saviour, do not now disdain 
Our humble praise and love. 

2 Since thou a pitying ear didst give, 
And hear us when we prayed, 

We '11 call upon thee while we live, 
And never doubt thy aid. 

3 Pale death, with all his ghastly train, 
Our souls encompassed round ; 

Anguish, and sin, and dread, and pain, 
On every side we found. 

4 To thee, O Lord of life, we prayed, 
And did for succor flee : 

"0 save," in our distress we said, 
"The souls that trust in thee." 

5 How good thou art! how large thy 

grace ! 
How ready to forgive ! 
Thy mercies crown our fleeting days ; 
And by thy love we live. 

6 Our eyes no longer drowned in tears, 
Our feet from falling free, 

Redeemed from death and guilty fears, 
O Lord, we '11 live to thee. 

CHAELES WESLEY. 



158 The sure refuge. 

1 There is a safe and secret place 
Beneath the wings divine, 

Reserved for all the heirs of grace ; 
be that refuge mine ! 

2 The least and feeblest there may bide, 
Uninjured and unawed ; 



While thousands fall on every side, 
He rests secure in God. 

3 The angels watch him on his way, 
And aid with friendly arm ; 

And Satan, roaring for his prey, 
May hate, but cannot harm. 

4 He feeds in pastures large and fair 
Of love and truth divine : 

O child of God, O glory's heir, 
How rich a lot is thine I 

5 A hand almighty to defend, 
An ear for every call, 

An honored life, a peaceful end, 
And heaven to crown it all ! 

HENEY F. LYTB. 



jlO y The only source of blessing. 

1 Jehovah, God, thy gracious power 
On every hand we see ; 

O may the blessings of each hour 
Lead all our thoughts to thee. 

2 If on the wings of morn we speed, 
To earth's remotest bound, 

Thy hand will there our footsteps lead, 
Thy love our path surround. 

3 Thy power is in the ocean deeps, 
And reaches to the skies ; 

Thine eye of mercy never sleeps, 
Thy goodness never dies. 

4 From morn till noon— till latest eve, 
Thy hand, O God, we see ; 

And all the blessings we receive, 
Proceed alone from thee.

160 Gratitude. 

1 When all thy mercies, my God, 
My rising soul surveys, 

Transported with the view, I'm lost 
In wonder, love, and praise. 

2 how can words with equal warmth 
The gratitude declare, 

That glows within my ravished heart? 
But thou canst read it there. 

3 To all my weak complaints and cries, 
Thy mercy lent an ear, 

Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned 
To form themselves in prayer. 

4 When in the slippery paths of youth, 
With heedless steps I ran, 

Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, 
And led me up to man. 

5 Through hidden dangers, toils, and 

deaths, 
It gently cleared my way; 
And through the pleasing snares of vice, 
More to be feared than they. 

6 Through every period of my life 
Thy goodness I'll pursue; 

And after death, in distant worlds, 
The pleasing theme renew. 

7 Through all eternity to thee 
A grateful song I '11 raise; 

But 0, eternity's too short 
To utter all thy praise. 

JOSEPH ADDISON.

ip.l Verily, thou art a God that hidest 
-»-VJ J_ thyself.— Isa. 45 : 15. 

1 God moves in a mysterious way 
His wonders to perform ; 

He plants his footsteps in the sea, 
And rides upon the storm. 

2 Deep in unfathomable mines 
Of never-failing skill, 

He treasures up his bright designs, 
And works his sovereign will. 

3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take : 
The clouds ye so much dread 

Are big with mercy, and shall break 
In blessings on your head. 

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, 
But trust him for his grace ; 

Behind a frowning providence 
He hides a smiling face. 

5 His purposes will ripen fast, 
Unfolding every hour : 

The bud may have a bitter taste, 
But sweet will be the flower. 

6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, 
And scan his work in vain: 

God is his own interpreter, 
And he will make it plain. 

WILLIAM COWPER.

Crowning God with praise. 



161 

1 Kingdoms and thrones to God belong; 
Crown him, ye nations, in your song : 

His wondrous names and powers rehearse ; 
His honors shall enrich your verse. 

2 He shakes the heavens with loud alarms ; 
How terrible is God in arms ! 

In Israel are his mercies known, 
Israel is his peculiar throne. 

3 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest ; 
He 's your defense, your joy, your rest : 
When terrors rise and nations faint, 

God is the strength of every saint. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

lOo God'' s presence with Ms people. 

i When Israel, of the Lord beloved, 
Out from the land of bondage came, 

Her fathers' God before her moved, 
An awful guide, in smoke and flame. 

2 By day, along the astonished lands 
The cloudy pillar glided slow ; 

By night, Arabia's crimsoned sands 
Returned the fiery column's glow. 

3 Thus present still, though now unseen, 
When brightly shines the prosperous day, 

Be thoughts of thee a cloudy screen, 
To temper the deceitful ray. 

4 And 0, when gathers on our path, 

In shade and storm, the frequent night, 
Be thou, long-suffering, slow to wrath, 
A burning and a shining light. 

SIB WALTEB SCOTT. 

_Lo4t The great Provider. 

1 Peace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear ; 
Thy great Provider still is near ; 



Who fed thee last, will feed thee still : 
Be calm, and sink into his will. 

2 The Lord, who built the earth and sky, 
In mercy stoops to hear thy cry; 

His promise all may freely claim : 
Ask and receive in Jesus' name. 

3 Without reserve give Christ your heart ; 
Let him his righteousness impart; 
Then all things else he '11 freely give ; 
With him you all things shall receive. 

4 Thus shall the soul be truly blest, 
That seeks in God his only rest ; 
May I that happy person be, 

In time and in eternity. 

SAMUEL KCKING. 



JLb£> God our shield. 

1 The tempter to my soul bath said, 
"There is no help in God for thee: " 

Lord, lift thou up thy servant's head ; 
My glory, shield, and solace be. 

2 Thus to the Lord I raised my cry: 
He heard me from his holy hill ; 

At his command the waves rolled by ; 
He beckoned, and the winds were still 

3 1 laid me down and slept,— I woke ; 
Thou, Lord, my spirit didst sustain ; 

Bright from the east the morning broke, 
Thy comforts rose on me again. 

4 I will not fear, though armed throngs 
Surround my steps in all their wrath ; 

Salvation to the Lord belongs; 
His presence guards his people's path.

lbb God a mighty fortress. 

1 A mighty fortress is our God, 
A bulwark never failing : 

Our Helper he, amid the flood 

Of mortal ills prevailing. 
For still our ancient foe 
Doth seek to work us woe ; 
His craft and power are great, 
And, armed with cruel hate, 

On earth is not his equal. 

2 Did we in our own strength confide, 
Our striving would be losing ; 

"Were not the right man on our side, 
The man of God's own choosing. 



Dost ask who that may be? 
Christ Jesus, it is he ; 
Lord Sabaoth is his name, 
From age to age the same, 
And he must win the battle. 

3 And though this world, with devils filled, 
Should threaten to undo us ; 

We will not fear, for God hath willed 
His truth to triumph through us. 

The Prince of darkness grim — 

"We tremble not for him ; 

His rage we can endure, 

For lo! his doom is sure, 
One little word shall fell him. 

4 That word above all earthly powers — 
No thanks to them— abideth ; 

The Spirit and the gifts are ours 
Through him who with us sideth. 

Let goods and kindred go, 

This mortal life also : 

The body they may kill : 

God's truth abideth still, 
His kingdom is forever.

_LO / God's messengers of love. 

1 They come, God's messengers of love 
They come from realms of peace above, 
From homes of never-fading light, 
From blissful mansions ever bright. 

2 They come to watch around us here, 
To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear : 



Ye heavenly guides, speed not away, 
God willeth you with us to stay. 

3 But chiefly at its journey's end 
'Tis yours the spirit to befriend, 
And whisper to the faithful heart, 
"O Christian soul, in peace depart." 

4 Blest Jesus, thou whose groans and tears 
Have sanctified frail nature's fears, 

To earth in bitter sorrow weighed, 
Thou didst not scorn thine angel's aid. 

5 An angel guard to us supply, 
When on the bed of death we lie ; 
And by thine own almighty power 
O shieid us in the last dread hour.

_Lt)o Security in God. 

1 God is our refuge and defense ; 
In trouble our unfailing aid : 

Secure in his omnipotence, 
What foe can make our souls afraid? 

2 Yea, though the earth's foundations rock, 
And mountains down the gulf be hurled, | 

His people smile amid the shock : 
They look beyond this transient world. 

3 There is a river pure and bright, 
Whose streams make glad the heavenly 

plains ; 
Where, in eternity of light, 
The city of our God remains. 

4 Built by the word of his command, 
With his unclouded presence blest, 

Firm as his throne the bulwarks stand ; 
There is our home, our hope, our rest. 

JAUES MONTGOMERY. 



_LOc) Tlie Saviour's tender care. 

1 God of my life, whose gracious power 
Through varied deaths my soul hath led, 

Or turned aside the fatal hour, 
Or lifted up my sinking head ; 

2 In all my ways thy hand I own, 
Thy ruling providence I see ; 

Assist me still my course to run, 
And still direct my paths to thee. 

3 Whither, O whither should I fly, 
But to my loving Saviour's breast? 

Secure within thine arms to lie, 
And safe beneath thy wings to rest. 



4 I have no skill the snare to shun, 
But thou, Christ, my wisdom art : 

I ever into ruin run, 
But thou art greater than my heart. 

5 Foolish, and impotent, and blind, 
Lead me a way I have not known : 

Bring me where I my heaven may find, 
The heaven of loving thee alone. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

jl7\J Quietness and assurance. 
1 How do Thy mercies close me round ! 
Forever be thy name adored; 

1 blush in all things to abound ; 
The servant is above his Lord. 

2 Inured to poverty and pain, 

A suffering life my Master led ; 
The Son of God, the Son of man, 
He had not where to lay his head. 

3 But lo ! a place he hath prepared 
For me, whom watchful angels keep ; 

Yea, he himself becomes my guard; 
He smooths my bed, and gives me sleep. 

4 Jesus protects ; my fears, be gone : 
What can the Rock of ages move ? 

Safe in thy arms I lay me down, 
Thine everlasting arms of love. 

5 While thou art intimately nigh, 
Who, who shall violate my rest? 

Sin, earth, and hell I now defy: 
I lean upon my Saviour's breast. 

6 I rest beneath the Almighty's shade; 
My griefs expire, my troubles cease ; 

Thou, "Lord, on whom my soul is stayed, 
Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.

jJ7 f^i Infinite compassion. 

1 My soul, repeat His praise, 
Whose mercies are so great ; 

Whose anger is so slow to rise, 
So ready to abate. 

2 High as the heavens are raised 
Above the ground we tread, 

So far the riches of his grace 
Our highest thoughts exceed. 

3 His power subdues our sins ; 
And his forgiving love, 

Far as the east is from the west, 
Doth all our guilt remove. 



4 The pity of the Lord, 

To those that fear his name, 

Is such as tender parents feel ; 

He knows our feeble frame. 

5 Our days are as the grass, 
Or like the morning flower : 

If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field 
It withers in an hour. 

6 But thy compassions, Lord, 
To endless years endure ; 

And children's children ever find 
Thy words of promise sure.

173 Omnipotent goodness. 

1 Away, my needless fears, 
And doubts no longer mine ; 

A ray of heavenly light appears, 
A messenger divine. 

2 Thrice comfortable hope, 
That calms my troubled breast ; 

My Father's hand prepares the cup, 
And what he wills is best. 

3 If what I wish is good, 
And suits the will divine, 

By earth and hell in vain withstood, 
I know it shall be mine. 

4 Still let them counsel take 
To frustrate his decree ; 

They cannot keep a blessing back, 
By Heaven designed for me. 

5 Here then I doubt no more, 
But in his pleasure rest, 

Whose wisdom, love, and truth, and power, 
Engage to make me blest. 

CHAELES WESLEY. 



~\T2 '4r Through a glass darkly. 
1 Cor. 13: 12. 

1 Thy way is in the sea ; 
Thy paths we cannot trace ; 

Nor solve, O Lord, the mystery 
Of thy unbounded grace. 

2 Here the dark veils of sense 
Our captive souls surround ; 

Mysterious deeps of providence 
Our wondering thoughts confound. 



64 



3 As through a glass we see 
The wonders of thy love ; 

How little do we know of thee, 
Or of the joys above ! 

4 In part we know thy will, 
And bless thee for the sight : 

Soon will thy love the rest reveal 
In glory's clearer light. 

5 With joy shall we survey 
Thy providence and grace ; 

And spend an everlasting day 
In wonder, love, and praise. 

JOHN FAWCEIT, AIT. 



IT'-fS Delight in God. 

1 Lord, I delight in thee, 
And on thy care depend ; 

To thee in every trouble flee, 
My best, my only Friend. 

2 When nature's streams are dried; 
Thy fullness is the same ; 

With this will I be satisfied, 
And glory in thy name. 

3 Who made my heaven secure, 
Will here all good provide : 

While Christ is rich, can I be poor? 
What can I want beside? 

4 I cast my care on thee ! 
I triumph and adore: 

Henceforth my great concern shall be 
To love and please thee more.

1/6 Tfey gentleness hath made me great. 
Ps. 18: 35. 

1 How gentle God's commands ! 
How kind his precepts are ! 

Come, cast your burdens on the Lord, 
And trust his constant care. 

2 Beneath his watchful eye 
His saints securely dwell ; 

That hand which bears all nature up 
Shall guard his children well. 

3 Why should this anxious load 
Press down your weary mind? 

Haste to your heavenly Father's throne, 
And sweet refreshment find. 

4 His goodness stands approved, 
Unchanged from day to day : 

I '11 drop my burden at his feet, 
And bear a song away. 

PHILIP DODDRIDGE. 



~U7*7 Afflictions blessed. 

1 How tender is thy hand, 

O thou most gracious Lord ! 
Afflictions came at thy command, 
And left us at thy word. 

2 How gentle was the rod 
That chastened us for sin ! 

How soon we found a smiling God 
Where deep distress had been ! 

3 A Father's hand we felt, 
A Father's love we knew : 

'Mid tears of penitence we knelt, 
And found his promise true. 



65 



4 Now will we bless the Lord, 
And in his strength confide : 

Forever be his name adored, 
For there is none beside. 

THOMAS HASTINGS. 



1 7 C5 All things in Christ. 

1 Thou very-present Aid 
In suffering and distress, 

The mind which still on thee is stayed, 
Is kept in perfect peace. 

2 The soul by faith reclined 
On the Redeemer's breast, 

'Mid raging storms, exults to find 
An everlasting rest. 

* Sorrow and fear are gone, 
Whene'er thy face appears; 

It stills the sighing orphan's moan, 
And dries the widow's tears. 

4 It hallows every cross; 
It sweetly comforts me ; 

Makes me forget my every loss, 
And find my all in thee. 

5 Jesus, to whom I fly, 
Doth all my wishes fill ; 

What though created streams are dry? 
I have the fountain still. 

6 Stripped of each earthly friend, 
I find them all in one ; 

And peace and joy which never end, 
And heaven, in Christ alone.

\_i\y The Lord is my Shepherd. 

1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I 

know ; 
I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest ; 
He leadeth mysoul where th e still waters flow, 
Restores me when wandering, redeems 
when oppressed. 

2 Through the valley and shadow of death 

though I stray, 
Since thou art my guardian, no evil I fear ; 



Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff he my 
stay; 
No harm can befall, with my Comforter 
near. 

3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread ; 
With blessings unmeasured my cup run- 
neth o'er; 

With perfume and oil thou anointest my 
head; 
O what shall I ask of thy providence more ? 

4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful 

God, 
Still follow my steps till I meet thee above ; 
I seek — by the path which my forefathers 

trod, 
Through the land of their sojourn— thy 

kingdom of love.

180 TJie Shepherd of Israel. 

1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, 
And feed me with a shepherd's care ; 
His presence shall my wants supply, 
And guard me with a watchful eye : 
My noonday walks he shall attend, 
And all my midnight hours defend. 

2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, 
Or on the thirsty mountain pant, 



To fertile vales and dewy meads, 
My weary, wandering steps he leads, 
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, 
Amid the verdant landscape flow. 

Though in a bare and rugged way, 
Through devious, lonely wilds I stray ; 
Thy bounty shall my pains beguile ; 
The barren wilderness shall smile, 
With sudden greens and herbage crowned, 
And streams shall murmur all around. 

4 Though in the paths of death I tread, 
With gloomy horrors overspread, 
My steadfast, heart shall fear no ill, 
For thou, O Lord, art with me still : 
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, 
And guide me through the dreadful shade.

lol The glories of Christ's kingdom. 

1 Hail, to the Lord's Anointed, 
Great David's greater Son ! 

Hail, in the time appointed, 
His reign on earth begun ! 

He comes to break oppression*, 
To set the captive free ; 

To take away transgression, 
And rule in equity. 

2 He comes with succor speedy 
To those who suffer wrong ; 

To help the poor and needy, 
And bid the weak be strong ; 

To give them songs for sighing, 
Their darkness turn to light, 

Whose souls, condemned and dying, 
Were precious in his sight.

3 He shall descend like showers 
Upon the fruitful earth, 

And love and joy, like flowers, 
Spring in his path to birth : 

Before him, on the mountains, 
Shall peace, the herald, go, 

And righteousness, in fountains, 
From hill to valley flow. 

4 To him shall prayer unceasing, 
And daily vows ascend ; 

His kingdom still increasing, 

A kingdom without end : 
The tide of time shall never 

His covenant remove ; 
His name shall stand forever ; 

That name to us is Love.

18/^ The guiding star. 
1 As with gladness men of old 
Did the guiding star behold ; 
As with joy they hailed its light, 
Leading onward, beaming bright ; 
So, most gracious Lord, may we 
Evermore be led to thee. 

a As with joyful steps they sped 
To that lowly manger-bed, 



There to bend the knee before 
Him whom heaven and earth adore ; 
So may we with willing feet 
Ever seek the mercy-seat. 

3 As they offered gifts most rare 
At that manger rude and bare ; 
So may we with holy joy, 
Pure, and free from sin's alloy, 
All our costliest treasures bring, 
Christ, to thee, our heavenly King. 

4 Holy Jesus, every day 
Keep us in the narrow way; 
And, when earthly things are past, 
Bring our ransomed souls at last 
Where they need no star to guide, 
Where no clouds thy glory hide.

2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shin-

Low lies his bed with the beasts of the 

stall ; 
Angels adore him, in slumber reclining, — 
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all. 

3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devo-

Odors of Edom and offerings divine? 
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the 

ocean, 
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the

Vainly with gifts would bis favor secure ;

187" Star of Bethlehem. 

1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain, 
The glittering host bestud the sky, 

One star alone of all the train 
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 

2 Hark ! hark ! to God the chorus breaks. 
From every host, from every gem ; 

But one alone the Saviour speaks, 
It is the Star of Bethlehem. 



Once on the raging seas I rode, 
The storm was loud, the night was dark, 
The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed 
The wind that tossed my foundering bark. 

4 Deep horror then my vitals froze ; 
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem ; 

When suddenly a star arose, 
It was the Star of Bethlehem. 

5 It was my guide, my light, my all, 
It bade my dark forebodings cease ; 

And, through the storm and danger's thrall, 
It led me to the port of peace. 

6 Now safely moored, my perils o'er, 
I '11 sing, first in night's diadem, 

For ever and for evermore, 
The Star, the Star of Bethlehem.

19 2 Good tidings of great joy.— Luke 1 : 10. 

1 While shepherds watched their flocks by- 

night, 
All seated on the ground, 
The angel of the Lord came down, 
And glory shone around. 

2 "Fear not," said he,— for mighty dread 
Had seized their troubled mind,— 

" Glad tidings of great joy I bring, 
To you and all mankind. 

3 "To you, in David's town, this day- 
Is born, of David's line, 

The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord ; 
And this shall be the sign : 

4 " The heavenly babe you there shall find 
To human view displayed, 

All meanly wrapped in swathing-bands, 
And in a manger laid." 

5 Thus spake the seraph ; and forthwith 
Appeared a shining throng 

Of angels, praising God on high, 
Who thus addressed their song: 

6 " All glory be to God on high, 
And to the earth be peace: 

Good-will henceforth from heaven to men, 
Begin and never cease." 



1 Mortals, awake, with angels join, 
And chant the solemn lay ; 



CAROL. C. M. d. 



Joy, love, and gratitude combine, 
To hail the auspicious day. 

2 In heaven the rapturous song began, 
And sweet seraphic fire 

Through all the shining legions ran, 
And strung and tuned the lyre. 

3 Swift through the vast expanse it flew, 
And loud the echo rolled ; 

The theme, the song, the joy, was new,— 
'Twas more than heaven could hold. 

4 Down through the portals of the sky 
The impetuous torrent ran ; 

And angels flew, with eager joy, 
To bear the news to man. 

5 Hark ! the cherubic armies shout, 
And glory leads the song : 

Good- will and peace are heard through- 
out 
The harmonious heavenly throng. 

6 With joy the chorus we repeat, 
"Glory to God on high! " 

Good-will and peace are now complete, 
Jesus was born to die. 

7 Hail, Prince of life, forever hail ! 
Redeemer, Brother, Friend! 

Though earth, and time, and life shall 
fail, 
Thy praise shall never end.

iy4r Christmas carol. 

1 It came upon the midnight clear, 
That glorious song of old, 

From angels bending near the earth 
To touch their harps of gold ; 

" Peace on the earth, good-will to men, 
From heaven's all-gracious King." 

The world in solemn stillness lay 
To hear the angels sing. 

2 Still through the cloven skies they come 
With peaceful wings unfurled, 

And still their heavenly music floats 

O'er all the weary world ; 
Above its sad and lowly plains 

They bend on hovering wing, 
And ever o'er its Babel sounds 

The blessed angels sing. 

3 But with the woes of sin and strife 
The world has suffered long ; 

Beneath the angel-strain have rolled 
Two thousand years of wrong ; 

And man, at war with man, hears not 
The love song which they bring : 

hush the noise, ye men of strife, 
And hear the angels sing ! 

4 And ye, beneath life's crushing load, 
Whose forms are bending low. 

Who toil along the climbing way 

With painful steps and slow, 
Look now ! for glad and golden hours 

Come swiftly on the wing: 
O rest beside the weary road, 

And hear the angels siugl 

5 For lo ! the days are hastening en 
By prophet-bards foretold, 

When with the ever-circling years 
Comes round the age of gold ; 

When peace shall over all the earth 
Its ancient splendors fling, 

And the whole world give back the song 
Which now the angels sing. 

EDMUND II. StA......

ljO Christmas anthem. 

1 Calm on the listening ear of night, 
Come heaven's melodious strains, 

Where wild Judea stretches far 

Her silver-mantled plains ; 
Celestial choirs from courts above 

Shed sacred glories there ; 
And angels, with their sparkling lyres, 

Make music on the air. 

2 The answering hills of Palestine 
Send back the glad reply, 

And greet from all their holy heights 
The Dayspring from on high : 

O'er the blue depths of Galilee 
There comes a holier calm ; 

And Sharon waves in solemn praise 
Her silent groves of palm. 

3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain 
The realm of ether fills ; 

How sw T eeps the song of solemn joy 

O'er Judah's sacred hills ! 
"Glory to God! " the sounding skies 

Loud with their anthems ring : 
"Peace on the earth ; good-will to men, 

From heaven's eternal King." 

4 Light on thy hills, Jerusalem ! 
The Saviour now is born : 

More bright on Bethlehem's joyous plains 
Breaks the first Christmas morn ; 

And brighter on Moriah's brow, 
Crowned with her temple spires, 

Which first -proclaim the newborn light, 
Clothed with its orient fires. 

5 This day shall Christian tongues be mute, 
And Christian hearts be cold? 

O catch the anthem that from heaven 
O'er Judah's mountains rolled ! 

When nightly burst from seraph-harps 
The high and solemn lay,— 

" Glory to God ; on earth be peace ; 
Salvation comes to-day ! "

19 b Patience of Jesus. 

1 What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone 
Around thy steps below ! 

What patient love was seen in all 
Thy life and death of woe ! 

2 For, ever on thy burdened heart 
A weight of sorrow hung ; 

Yet no ungentle, murmuring word 
Escaped thy silent tongue. 

3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile, 
Thy friends unfaithful prove ; 

Unwearied in forgiveness still, 
Thy heart could only love. 

4 give us hearts to love like thee, 
Like thee, Lord, to grieve 

Far more for others' sins, than all 
The wrongs that we receive. 

5 One with thyself, may every eye 
In us, thy brethren, see 

That gentleness and grace that spring 
From union, Lord, with thee. 

SIR EDWARD DENNY. 

It) / A present help. 

1 We may not climb the heavenly steeps 
To bring the Lord Christ down; 

In vain we search the lowest deeps, 
For him no depths can drown. 

2 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet 
A present help is he ; 

And faith has yet its Olivet, 
And love its Galilee. 



3 The healing of the seamless dress 
Is by our beds of pain ; 

We touch him in life's throng and press, 
And we are whole again. 

4 Through him the first fond prayers are 

said 
Our lips of childhood frame ; 
The last low whispers of our dead 
Are burdened with his name. 

5 O Lord and Master of us all, 
Whate'er our name or sign, 

We own thy sway, we hear thy call, 
We test our lives by thine ! 

JOHN G, WHITTIER. 

_Le)o Tlie Transfiguration. 

1 The chosen three, on mountain height, 
While Jesus bowed in prayer, 

Beheld his vesture glow with light, 
His face shine wondrous fair. 

2 And lo ! with the transfigured Lord, 
Leader and seer they saw ; 

With Carmel's hoary prophet stood 
The giver of the law. 

3 From the low-bending cloud above, 
Whence radiant brightness shone, 

Spake out the Father's voice of love, 
"Hear my beloved Son!" 

4 Lord, lead us to the mountain height ; 
To prayer's transfiguring glow; 

And clothe us with the Spirit's might 
For grander work below.

That bids bewildered souls rejoice, 
Though love wax cold, and faith be dim, 
"This is my Son, hear ye him." 

ARTHUR P. STANLEY. 

201 Receive thij sight.— Luke 18 : 42. 

1 When the blind suppliant in the way, 
By friendly hands to Jesus led, 

Prayed to behold the light of day, 
"Receive thy sight," Ihe Saviour said. 

2 At once he saw the pleasant rays 
That lit the glorious firmament ; 

And, with firm step and words of praise, 
He followed where the Master went. 

3 Look down in pity, Lord, we pray, 
On eyes oppressed by moral night, 

And touch the darkened lids, and say 
The gracious words, " Receive thy sight." 

4 Then, in clear daylight, shall we see 
Where walked the sinless Son of God ; 

And, aided by new strength from thee, 
Press onward in the path he trod. 



199 The Transfiguration. 

1 wondrous type ! vision fair 
Of glory that the Church shall share, 
Which Christ upon the mountain shows, 
Where brighter than the sun he glows ! 

2 From age to age the tale declare, 
How with the three disciples there, 
Where Moses and Ellas meet, 

The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 

3 With shining face and bright array, 
Christ deigns to manifest to-day 
What glory shall be theirs above, 
Who joy in God with perfect love. 

4 And faithful hearts are raised on high 
By this great vision's mystery ; 

For which in joyful strains we raise 
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise. 

5 O Father, with the Eternal Son, 
And Holy Spirit, ever One, 
Vouchsafe to bring us by thy grace 
To see thy glory face to face. 

SAKUM BREVIARY. TR. BY J. M. NEALE. 

200 Herman, 

1 Master, it is good to be 

High on the mountain here with thee, 
Where stand revealed to mortal gaze 
Those glorious saints of other days, 
Who once received on Horeb's height 
The eternal laws of truth and right, 
Or caught the still small whisper, higher 
Than storm, than earthquake, or than fire. 

2 O Master, it is good to be 
Entranced, en wrapt, alone with thee ; 
And watch thy glistering raiment glow 
Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow; 
The human lineaments that shine 
Irradiant with a light divine ; 

Till we too change from grace to grace, 
Gazing on that transfigured face. 

3 O Master, it is good to be 

Here on the holy mount with thee: 
When darkling in the depths of night, 
When dazzled with excess of light, 



20; 



Meekness of Christ. 



1 How beauteous were the marks divine, 
That in thy meekness used to shine, 
That lit thy lonely pathway, trod 

In wondrous love, Son of God! 

2 who like thee, so mild, so bright, 
Thou Son of man, thou Light of light? 
O who like thee did ever go 

So patient, through a world of woe? 

3 who like thee so humbly bore • 
The scorn, the scoffs of men, before? 
So meek, so lowly, yet so high, 

So glorious in humility ? 

4 And death, that sets the prisoner free, 
Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to thee ; 
Yet love through all thy torture glowed, 
And mercy with thy life-blood flowed. 

5 O wondrous Lord, my soul would be 
Still more and more conformed to thee, 
And learn of thee, the lowly One, 
And like thee, all my journey run.

1 Jesus wept! those tears are over, 
But his heart is still the same ; 

Kinsman, Friend, and elder Brother, 
Is his everlasting name. 
Saviour, who can love like thee, 
Gracious One of Bethany? 

2 When the pangs of trial seize us, 
When the waves of sorrow roll, 

I will lay my head on Jesus, 
Pillow of the troubled soul. 
Surely, none can feel like thee, 
Weeping One of Bethany ! 



3 Jesus wept ! and still in glory, 

He can mark each mourner's tear ; 
Living to retrace the story 

Of the hearts he solaced here. 
Lord, when I am called to die, 
Let me think of Bethany. 

4 Jesus wept ! that tear of soitow 
Is a legacy of love ; 

Yesterday, to-day, to-morrow, 
He the same doth ever prove. 
Thou art all in all to me, 
Living One of Bethany !

Towering o'er the wrecks of time ; 

All the light of sacred story 
Gathers round its head sublime. 

2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, 
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, 

Never shall the cross forsake me; 
Lo ! it glows with peace and joy.

Light and love upon my way,

From the cross the radiance streaming 
Adds more luster to the day.

Peace is there, that knows do measure, 
Joys that through all time abide. 

5 In the cross of Christ I glory, 
Towering o'er the wrecks of time ; 

All the light of sacred story 
Gathers round its head sublime.

zoOO Lessons of the cross. 

1 Never further than Thy cross : 
Never higher than thy feet : 

Here earth's precious things seem dross: 
Here earth's bitter things grow sweet. 

2 Gazing thus our sin we see, 
Learn thy love while gazing thus; 

Sin, which laid the cross on thee, 
Love, which bore the cross for us. 

3 Here we learn to serve and give, 
And, rejoicing, self deny ; 

Here we gather love to live, 
Here we gather faith to die. 

4 Pressing onward as we can, 
Still to this our hearts must tend ; 

"Where our earliest hopes began, 
There our last aspirings end ; 

5 Till amid the hosts of light, 
We in thee redeemed, complete.

rt^OO Sinai, Tabor, Calvary. 

1 When on Sinai's top I see 
God descend, in majesty, 
To proclaim his holy law, 
All my spirit sinks with awe. 

2 When, in ecstasy sublime, 
Tabor's glorious steep I climb, 
At the too transporting light, 
Darkness rushes o'er my sight. 

3 When on Calvary I rest, 
God, in flesh made manifest, 
Shines in my Redeemer's face, 
Full of beauty, truth, and grace. 

4 Here I would forever stay, 
Weep and gaze my soul away ; 
Thou art heaven on earth to me, 
Lovely, mournful Calvary.

fCvJo 27ie power of the cross. 

1 Ws sing the praise of Him who died, 
Of him who died upon the cross ; 

The sinner's hope let men deride, 
For this we count the world but loss. 

2 Inscribed upon the cross we see, 
In shining letters, "God is Love;" 

He bears our sins upon the tree, 
He brings us mercy from above. 

3 The cross ! it takes our guilt away ; 
It holds the fainting spirit up; 

It cheers with hope the gloomy day, 
And sweetens every bitter cup. 

4 It makes the coward spirit brave, 
And nerves the feeble arm for fight ; 

It takes its terror from the grave, 
And gilds the bed of death with light: 

5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, 
The measure and the pledge of love, 

The sinner's refuge here below, 
The angels' theme in heaven above. 

THOMAS KELLY. 

209 The hidings of the Father's face. 

1 From Calvary a cry was heard, 
A bitter and heart-rending cry ; 

My Saviour! every mournful word 
Bespeaks thy soul's deep agony. 

2 A horror of great darkness fell 
On thee, thou spotless, holy One ! 

And all the swarming hosts of hell 
Conspired to tempt God's only Son. 

8 The scourge, the thorns, the deep disgrace, 
These thou couldst bear, nor once repine ; 



But when Jehovah veiled his face, 
Unutterable pangs were thine. 

4 Let the dumb world its silence break ; 
Let pealing anthems rend the sky; 

Awake, my sluggish soul, awake ! 
He died, that we might never die. 

5 Lord, on thy cross I Qx mine eye : 
If e'er I lose its strong control, 

let that dying, piercing cry, 

Melt and reclaim my wandering soul. 

J. W. CUNNIN6HAM. 

^_LO Atonement made. 

1 'Tis finished ! the Messiah dies — 
Cut off for sins, but not his own ; 

Accomplished is the sacrifice, 
The great redeeming work is done. 

2 'Tis finished! all the debt is paid; 
Justice divine is satisfied ; 

The grand and full atonement ma de ; 
Christ for a guilty world hath died. 

3 The veil is rent ; in him alone 
The living way to heaven is seen ; 

The middle wall is broken down, 
And all mankind may enter in. 

4 The types and figures are fulfilled ; 
Exacted is the legal pain ; 

The precious promises are sealed ; 
The spotless Lamb of God is slain. 

5 Death, hell, and sin are now subdued; 
All grace is now to sinners given; 

And, lo! I plead the atoning blood, 
And in thy right I claim my heaven.

^1J_ Glorying in the cross. 

1 When I survey the wondrous cross 
On which the Prince of glory died, 

My richest gain I count but loss, 
And pour contempt on all my pride. 

2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, 
Save in the death of Christ, my God; 

All the vain things that charm me most, 
I sacrifice them to his blood. 

3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, 
Sorrow and love flow mingled down: 

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, 
Or thorns compose so rich a ct own ? 

4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, 
That were a present far too small ; 

Love so amazing, so divine, 
Demands my soul, my life, my all. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

,ol^ Christ crucified. 

1 Extended on a cursed tree, 

Covered with dust, and sweat, and blood, 
See there, the King of glory see ! 
Sinks and expires the Son of God. 

2 Who, who, my Saviour, this hath done? 
Who could thy sacred body wound? 

No guilt thy spotless heart hath known, 
No guile hath in thy lips been found. 

3 1,1 alone have done the deed ; 
'Tis I thy sacred flesh have torn ; 

My sins have caused thee, Lord, to bleed, 
Pointed the nail, and fixed the thorn. 



4 For me the burden to sustain 

Too great, on thee, my Lord, was laid : 
To heal me, thou hast borne my pain ; 
To bless me, thou a curse wast made. 

5 My Saviour, how shall I proclaim, 
How pay the mighty debt I owe ? 

Let all I have, and all I am, 
Ceaseless, to all, thy glory show. 

6 Still let thy tears, thy groans, thy sighs, 
O'erflow my eyes, and heave my breast, 

Till, loosed from flesh and earth, I rise, 
And ever in thy bosom rest. 

Til. BY J. WESLEY. 



^3„lo Gazing on the cross. 

1 Lord Jesus, when we stand afar 
And gaze upon thy holy cross, 

In love of thee and scorn of self, 
O may we count the world as loss. 

2 When we behold thy bleeding wounds, 
And the rough way that thou hast trod 

Make us to hate the load of sin 
That lay so heavy on our God. 

3 holy Lord ! uplifted high 

With outstretched arms, in mortal woe, 
Embracing in thy wondrous love 
The sinful world that lies below ! 

4 Give us an ever-living faith 

To gaze beyond the things we see ; 
And in the mystery of thy death 
Draw us and all men after thee !

214: Godty sorrow at the cross. 

1 Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed ? 
And did my Sovereign die? 

Would be devote tbat sacred head 
For sucb a worm as I? 

2 Was it for crimes that I have done, 
He groaned upon the tree? 

Amazing pity ! grace unknown ! 
And love beyond degree ! 

3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, 
And shut his glories in, 

When Christ, the mighty Maker, died, 
For man the creature's sin. 

4 Thus might I hide my blushing face 
While his dear cross appears ; 

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, 
And melt mine eyes to tears. 

5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay 
The debt of love I owe : 

Here, Lord, I give myself away,— 
'Tis all that I can do. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



2l£> He died for thee. 

1 Behold the Saviour of mankind 
Nailed to the shameful tree ; 

How vast the love that him inclined 
To bleed and die for thee ! 

2 Hark! how he groans, while nature shakes, 
And earth's strong pillars bend : 

The temple's veil in sunder breaks, 
The solid marbles rend. 



80 



3 'Tis done ! the precious ransom 's paid I 
"Receive my soul!" he cries: 

See where he bows his sacred head ; 
He bows his head, and dies ! 

4 But soon he '11 break death's envious chain, 
And in full glory shine : 

Lamb of God, was ever pain, 
Was ever love, like thine?

Answer, thou Man of grief and love, 
And speak it to my heart. 

3 In manifested love explain 
Thy wonderful design ; 

What meant, thou suffering Son of man. 
Thy streaming blood divine? 

4 Didst thou not in our flesh appear. 
And live and die below, 

Tbat I might now perceive thee near, 
And my Redeemer know? 

5 Might view the Lamb in his own light, 
Whom angels dimly see ;

The cross is reared on high, 

On which the Saviour of the world 
Is stretched in agony. 

2 See ! through his holy hands and feet 
The cruel nails they drive : 

Our ransom thus is made complete, 

Our souls are saved alive. 
8 And see ! the spear hath pierced his side, 

And shed that sacred flood, 



That holy reconciling tide, 
The water and the blood. 

4 Hail, holy cross ! from thee we learn 
The only way to heaven ; 

And 0, to thee may sinners turn, 
And look, and be forgiven !

In thee we will rejoice, 

And sing, till time shall be no more, 
The triumphs of the cross.

The incarnate God hath died for me !

And say, was ever grief like his? 
Come, feel with me his blood applied : 
My Lord, my Love, is crucified: 

3 Is crucified for me and you, 

To bring us rebels back to God : 
Believe, believe the record true, 

Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood : 
Pardon for all flows from his side : 
My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 

4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, 
And gladly catch the healing stream ; 

All things for him account but loss, 
And give up all our hearts to him: 
Of nothing think or speak beside,— 
My Lord, my Love, is crucified. 

CUARLKS WESLEY. 



/O^l Sovereign love. 

1 Would Jesus have the sinner die ? 
Why hangs he then on yonder tree? 

What means that strange expiring cry ? 

Sinners, he prays for you and me ; 
" Forgive them, Father, O forgive ! 
They know not that by me they live." 

2 Jesus, descended from above, 
Our loss of Eden to retrieve, 

Great God of universal love, 

If all the world through thee may live, 
In us a quickening spirit be, 
And witness thou hast died for me. 

3 Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb, 
Thee— by thy painful agony, 

Thy bloody sweat, thy grief and shame. 

Thy cross and passion on the tree, 
Thy precious death and life— I pray, 
Take all, take all my sins away. 

4 let thy love my heart constrain! 
Thy love, for every sinner free, 

That every fallen son of man 

May taste the grace that found out me; 
That all mankind with me may prove 
Thy sovereign, everlasting love.

Crovmed with thorns. 

1 sacred Head, now wounded, 
With grief and shame weighed down, 

Now scornfully surrounded 
With thorns, thine only crown ; 

O sacred Head, what glory, 
What bliss, till now was thine ! 

Yet, though despised and gory, 
I joy to'call thee mine. 

2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered 
Was all for sinners' gain: 

Mine, mine was the transgression, 
But thine the deadly pain : 



Lo, here I fall, my Saviour! 

'Tis I deserve thy place ; 
Look on me with thy favor, 

Vouchsafe to me thy grace. 

What language shall I borrow 

To thank thee, dearest Friend, 
For this, thy dying sorrow, 

Thy pity without end? 
make me thine forever ; 

And should I fainting be, 
Lord, let me never, never, 

Outlive my love to thee. 

4 Be near me when I'm dying, 

O show thy cross to me ; 
And, for my succor flying, 

Come, Lord, and set me free: 
These eyes, new faith receiving, 

From Jesus shall not move; 
For he who dies believing, 

Dies safely, through thy love.

1 Go to dark Gethsemane, 

Ye that feel the tempter's power ; 
Your Redeemer's conflict see, 

Watch with him one bitter hour ; 
Turn not from his griefs away, 
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 

2 Follow to the judgment-hall ; 
View the Lord of life arraigned ; 

O the wormwood and the gall ! 

O the pangs his soul sustained ! 
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; 
Learn of him to bear the cross. 



3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; 
There, adoring at his feet, 

Mark that miracle of time, 

God's own sacrifice complete: 
"It is finished ! " hear him cry; 
Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 

4 Early hasten to the tomb, 

Where they laid his breathless clay; 
All is solitude and gloom ; 

Who hath taken him away? 
Christ is risen; he meets our eyes; 
Saviour, teach us so to rise !

Join to praise Immanuel's name;

Easter anthem. 

1 Sing with all the sons of glory, 
Sing the resurrection song ! 

Death and sorrow, earth's dark story, 
To the former days belong : 

All around the clouds are breaking, 
Soon the storms of time shall cease, 

In God's likeness, man awaking, 
Knows the everlasting peace. 

2 O what glory, far exceeding 
All that eye has yet perceived ! 

Holiest hearts for ages pleading, 
Never that full joy conceived. 

God has promised, Christ prepares it, 
There on high our welcome waits ; 

Every humble spirit shares it, 
Christ has passed the eternal gates. 

3 Life eternal ! heaven rejoices, 
Jesus lives who once was dead; 

Join, O man, the deathless voices, 
Child of God, lift up thy head I 

Patriarchs from the distant ages, 
Saints all longing for their heaven, 

Prophets, psalmists, seers and sages, 
All await the glory given. 

4 Life eternal ! O what wonders 
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown, 



When, amidst earth's closing thunders, 
Saints shall stand before the throne ! 

to enter that bright portal, 
See that glowing firmament, 

Know, with thee, God immortal, 
"Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent! " 

WILLIAM J. IRONS. 

,0^0 Jesus, victor over death. 

1 Come, ye saints, look here and wonder; 
See the place where Jesus lay : 

He has burst his bands asunder ; 
He has borne our sins away ; 

Joyful tidings ! 
Yes, the Lord has risen to-day. 

2 Jesus triumphs ! sing ye praises ; 
By his death he overcame : 

Thus the Lord his glory raises, 
Thus he fills his foes with shame : 

Sing ye praises ! 
Praises to the Victor's name. 

3 Jesus triumphs ! countless legions 
Come from heaven to meet their King ; 

Soon, in yonder blessed regions, 
They shall join his praise to sing: 

Songs eternal 
Shall through heaven's high arches ring.

^22/ The voice of triumph. 

1 Lift your glad voices in triumph on high, 
For Jesus hath risen, and man shall not 

die; 
Vain were the terrors that gathered around 

him, 
And short the dominion of death and the 

grave; 
He burst from the fetters of darkness that 

bound him, 
Resplendent in glory, to live and to save : 
Loud was the chorus of angels on high, — 
The Saviour hath risen, and man shall not 

die. 



2 Glory to God, in full anthems of joy; 

The being he gave us death cannot de- 
stroy: 
Sad were the life we may part with to-mor- 
row, 

If tears were our birthright, and death 
were our end ; 
But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of 
sorrow, 

And bade us, immortal, to heaven as- 
cend: 

Lift then your voices in triumph on high, 

For Jesus hath risen, and man shall not 
die.

Deep in our Saviour's tomb, 

And seek the treasure there, that time 
Nor change can e'er consume. 

5 We die with thee : O let us live 
Henceforth to thee aright ; 

The blessings thou hast died to give 
Be daily in our sight.

If thou art there to break the gloom, 
And call us back to day.

Rise, glorious Conqueror, rise 
Into thy native skies ;

And where in many a fold 
The clouds are backward rolled, 
Pass through those gates of gold, 

And reign in light !

Cherubic legions swell 

The radiant train : 
Praises all heaven inspire ; 
Each angel sweeps his lyre, 
And claps his wings of fire, 

Thou Lamb once slain !

No feet but thine have trod 

The serpent down : 
Blow the full trumpets, blow, 
Wider yon portals throw,

And take thy crown !

And let thy name prevail 

From age to age :

Claim for thine own the spheres, 
For thou hast bought with tears 

Thy heritage.

(COv Resurrection hymn. 

1 The day of resurrection ! 
Earth, tell it out abroad ! 

The passover of gladness, 

The passover of God ! 
From death to life eternal, 

From earth unto the sky, 
Our Christ hath brought us over, 

With hymns of victory. 

2 Our hearts be pure from evil, 
That we may see aright 

The Lord in rays eternal 
Of resurrection light ; 



And, listening to his accents, 
May hear, so calm and plain, 

His own "All hail!" and, hearing, 
May raise the victor-strain. 

3 Now let the heavens be joyful ! 

Let earth her song begin ! 
Let the round world keep triumph, 

And all that is therein I 
Invisible and visible, 

Their notes let all things blend, 
For Christ the Lord hath risen, 

Our Joy that hath no end.

1 Awake, glad soul! awake! awake! 
Thy Lord has risen long, 

Go to his grave, and with thee take 
Both tuneful heart and song. 

2 Where life is waking all around, 
Where love's sweet voices sing, 

The first bright blossom may be found 
Of an eternal spring. 



3 The shade and gloom of life are fled 
This resurrection-day, 

Henceforth in Christ are no more dead, 
The grave hath no more prey. 

4 In Christ we live, in Christ we sleep, 
In Christ we wake and rise, 

And the sad tears death makes us weep, 
He wipes from all our eyes. 

5 Then wake, glad heart ! awake ! awake ! 
And seek thy risen Lord, 

Joy in his resurrection take, 
And comfort in his word : 

6 And let thy life, through all its ways, 
One long thanksgiving be, 

Its theme of joy, its song of praise — 
Christ died, and rose for me.

,00 Majestic triumph over the grave. 

1 The morning Mndles all the sky, 

The heavens resound with anthems high, 
The shining angels as they speed, 
Proclaim, "The Lord is risen indeed!" 

2 Vainly with rocks his tomb was barred, 
While Roman guards kept watch and ward ; 
Majestic from the spoiled tomb, 

In pomp of triumph, he has come ! 

3 When the amazed disciples heard, 
Their hearts with speechless joy were stirred ; 



Their Lord's beloved face to see, 
Eager they haste to Galilee. 

4 His pierced hands to them he shows, 
His face with love's own radiance glows; 
They with the angels' message speed, 
And shout, "The Lord is risen indeed!" 

5 O Christ, thou King compassionate ! 
Our hearts possess, on thee we wait : 
Help us to render praises due, 

To thee the endless ages through !

1 He dies ! the Friend of sinners dies ! 
Lo! Salem's daughters weep around; 

A solemn darkness veils the skies, 
A sudden trembling .shakes the ground. 

2 Come, saints, and drop a tear or two 
For him who groaned beneath your load ; 

He shed a thousand drops for you,— 
A thousand drops of richer blood. 



3 Here 's love and grief beyond degree : 
The Lord of glory dies for man ! 

But lo! what sudden joys we see, 
Jesus, the dead, revives again ! 

4 The rising God forsakes the tomb ; 
In vain the tomb forbids his rise ; 

Cherubic legions guard him home, 
And shout him welcome to the skies. 

5 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell 
How high your great Deliverer reigns; 

Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell, 
And led the monster Death in chains : 

6 Say, "Live forever, wondrous King! 
Born to redeem, and strong to save;" 

Then ask the monster, " Where 's thy sting ?" 
And, "Where's thy victory, boasting 
Grave?"

With him shall rise the ransomed seed, 
To reign in endless day.

^OD Gone into heaven. 

1 Thou art gone up on high 
To mansions in the skies; 

And round thy throne unceasingly 
The songs of praise arise. 

2 But we are lingering here, 
With sin and care oppressed: 

Lord, send thy promised Comforter, 
And lead us to thy rest. 

3 Thou art gone up on high : 
But thou didst first come down, 

Through earth's most bitter agony 
To pass unto thy crown. 

4 And girt with griefs and fears 
Our onward course must be ; 

But only let that path of tears 
Lead us at last to thee. 



5 Thou art gone up on high : 
But thou shalt come again, 

With all the bright ones of the sky 
Attendant in thy train. 

6 by thy saving power 
So make us live and die, 

That we may stand, in that dread hour, 
At thy right hand on high.

And angels chant the solemn lay : 

"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;

2 " Loose all your bars of massy light, 
And wide unfold the ethereal scene ; 

He claims these mansions as his right; 

Receive the King of glory in ! " 
" Who is the King of glory ? Who ? " 

" The Lord, that all our foes o'ercame ; 
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew ; 

And Jesus is the Conqueror's name." 

3 Lo, his triumphal chariot waits, 
And angels chant the solemn lay: 

" Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates ;

It flows from every streaming wound, 
"Whose power our inbred sin controls, 
Breaks the firm bond and frees our souls. 

3 Thou didst create the stars of night, 
Yet thou hast veiled in flesh thy light ; 
Hast deigned a mortal form to wear, 
A mortal's painful lot to bear. 

4 "When thou didst hang upon the tree, 
The quaking earth acknowledged thee ; 
When thou didst there yield up thy breath. 
The world grew dark as shades of death. 

5 Now in the Father's glory high,

Us by thy mighty power defend, 
And reign through ages without end.

Rejoice evermore. 



1 Rejoice, the Lord is King ! 
Your Lord and King adore ; 

Mortals, give thanks and sing, 
And triumph evermore ; 
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice ; 
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice. 

2 Jesus, the Saviour, reigns, 
The God of truth and love ; 

"When he had purged our stains, 
He took his seat above ; 
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice ; 
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice. 

3 His kingdom cannot fail, 

He rules o'er earth and heaven ; 
The keys of death and hell 

Are to our Jesus given ; 
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice ; 
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice. 

4 He sits at God's right hand 
Till all his foes submit, 

And bow to his command, 
And fall beneath bis feet; 
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice ; 
Rejoire, again I say, rejoice. 

5 He all his foes shall quell, 
And all our sins destroy ; 

Let every bosom swell 
With pure seraphic joy ; 
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice ; 
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice. 



6 Rejoice in glorious hope ; 

Jesus the Judge shall come, 
And take his servants up 
To their eternal home ; 
We soon shall hear the archangel's voice : 
The trump of God shall sound,— Rejoice !

Hail, thou Galilean Kingl 

Thou didst suffer to release us ; 

Thou didst free salvation bring. 
Hail, thou agonizing Saviour, 

Bearer of our sin and shame ! 
By thy merits we find favor; 

Life is given through thy name. 

2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, 
All our sins on thee were laid : 

By almighty love anointed, 
Thou hast full atonement made. 

-ill thy people are forgiven, 
Through the virtue of thy blood ; 

Opened is the gate of heaven ; 
Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 



3 Jesus, hail ! enthroned in glory, 
There forever to abide ; 

All the heavenly hosts adore thee, 
Seated at thy Father's side : 

There for sinners thou art pleading ; 
There thou dost our place prepare : 

Ever for us interceding, 
Till in glory we appear. 

4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing, 
Thou art worthy to receive ; 

Loudest praises, without ceasing, 

Meet it is for us to give. 
Help, ye bright angelic spirits ; 

Bring your sweetest, noblest lays ; 
Help to sing our Saviour's merits ; 

Help to chant Immanuel's praise !

Let angels prostrate fall ; 

Bring forth the royal diadem, 
And crown him Lord of all. 

2 Crown him, ye morning stars of light, 
Who fixed this earthly ball ; 

Now hail the strength of Israel's might, 
And crown him Lord of all.

Ye ransomed from the fall, 

Hail him who saves you by his grace,

The wormwood and the gall ; 

Go, spread your trophies at his feet, 
And crown him Lord of all.

To him all majesty ascribe, 
And crown him Lord of all.

In the seat of power enthrone him, 
While the vault of heaven rings :

Mocking thus the Saviour's claim ;

Own his title, praise his name :

254: Our merciful High Priest. 

1 With joy we meditate the grace 
Of our High Priest above ; 

His heart is made of tenderness, 
His bowels melt with love. 

2 Touched with a sympathy within, 
He knows our feeble frame; 

He knows what sore temptations mean, 
For he hath felt the same. 

3 He, in the days of feeble flesh, 
Poured out strong cries and tears, 

And in his measure feels afresh 
What every member bears. 

4 He '11 never quench the smoking flax, 
But raise it to a flame ; 

The bruise'd reed he never breaks, 
Nor scorns the meanest name. 

5 Then let our humble faith address 
His mercy and his power; 

We shall obtain delivering grace 
In every trying hour. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

(^55 Christ, our guide. 

1 Jesus, the Lord of glory, died, 
That we might never die ; 

And now he reigns supreme, to guide 
His people to the sky. 

2 Weak though we are, he still is near, 
To lead, console, defend ; 

In all our sorrow, all our fear, 
Our all-sufficient Friend. 

3 From his high throne in bliss he deigns 
Our every prayer to heed ; 



Bears with our folly, soothes our pains, 
Supplies our every need. 

4 And from his love's exhaustless spring, 
Joys like a river come, 

To make the desert bloom and sing, 
O'er which we travel home. 

5 O Jesus, there is none like thee, 
Our Saviour and our Lord ; 

Through earth and heaven exalted be, 
Beloved, obeyed, adored. 

BAPTIST W. NOEL. 

^O O King of kings, and Lord of lords. 

1 The head that once was crowned with 

thorns, 
Is crowned with glory now ; 
A royal diadem adorns 
The mighty Victor's brow. 

2 The highest place that heaven affords, 
Is to our Jesus given ; 

The King of kings, and Lord of lords, 
He reigns o'er earth and heaven : 

3 The joy of all who dwell above, 
The joy of all below, 

To whom he manifests his love, 
And grants his name to know. 

4 To them the cross, with all its shame, 
With all its grace, is given ; 

Their name, an everlasting name, 
Their joy, the joy of heaven. 

5 They suffer with their Lord below, 
They reign with him above ;' 

Their everlasting joy to know 
The mystery of his love.

J3o/ On hi3 head were many crowns. 

Rev. 19:12. 

1 Crown him with many crowns, 
The Lamh upon his throne ; 

Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns 

All music but its own ! 
Awake, my soul, and sing, 

Of him who died for thee, 
And hail him as thy matchless King 

Through all eternity. 

2 Crown him the Lord of love ! 
Behold his hands and side,— 

Rich wounds, yet visible above, 

In beauty glorified : 
No angel in the sky 

Can fully bear that sight, 
But downward bends his burning eye 

At mysteries so great. 

3 Crown him the Lord of peace ! 
Whose power a scepter sways 

From pole to pole, that wars may cease, 
And all be prayer and praise : 

His reign shall know no end, 
And round his pierced feet 

Fair flowers of paradise extend 
Their fragrance ever sweet. 

4 Crown him the Lord of years, 
The Potentate of time, 



Creator of the rolling spheres, 

Ineffably sublime! 
All hail I Redeemer, hail ! 

For thou hast died for me ; 
Thy praise shall never, never fail 

Throughout eternity.

Speaking in thine ears above : 

From impending wrath release us ; 
Manifest thy pardoning love. 

2 receive us to thy favor, — 
For his only sake receive ; 

Give us to the bleeding Saviour, 
Let us by his dying live. 

3 "To thy pardoning grace receive them,' 
Once he prayed upon the tree; 

Still his blood cries out, " Forgive them ; 
All their sins were laid on me." 

4 Still our Advocate in heaven, 
Prays the prayer on earth begun, 

"Father, show their sins forgiven; 
Father, glorify thy Son!"

Raise your joys and triumphs high ; 
Sing, ye heavens,— and earth, reply. 

2 Love's redeeming work is done ; 
Fought the fight, the battle won : 
Lol the sun's eclipse is o'er; 

Lo ! he sets in blood no more. 

3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, 
Christ has burst the gates of hell : 
Death in vain forbids his rise ; 
Christ hath opened paradise.

Where, Death, is now thy sting? 
Once he died our souls to save ; 
Where's thy victory, boasting Grave?

Follow our exalted Head ; 

Made like him, like him we rise ; 
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

Ravished from our wishful eyes ! 
Christ, awhile to mortals given, 
Re-ascends his native heaven. 

2 There the pompous triumph waits : 
Lift your heads, eternal gates ; 
Wide unfold the radiant scene ; 
Take the King of glory in ! 

3 Circled round with angel powers, 
Their triumphant Lord and ours, 
Conqueror over death and sin, — 
Take the King of glory in ! 

4 Him though highest heaven receives, 
Still he loves the earth he leaves ; 
Though returning to his throne, 

Still he calls mankind his own. 

5 See, he lifts his hands above ! 
See, he shows the prints of love ! 
Hark, his gracious lips bestow 
Blessings on his Church below ! 

6 Saviour, parted from our sight, 
High above yon azure height, 
Grant our hearts may thither rise, 
Following thee beyond the skies.

And grant us thy true peace instead ; 
So shall we not, with thee to guide, 
Turn from the paths of life aside.

^/O Life, light, and love. 

1 Enthroned on high, almighty Lord, 
The Holy Ghost send down ; 

Fulfill in us thy faithful word, 
And all thy mercies crown. 

2 Though on our heads no tongues of fire 
Their wondrous powers impart, 

Grant, Saviour, what we more desire, — 
Thy Spirit in our heart. 

3 Spirit of life, and light, and love, 
Thy heavenly influence give ; 

Quicken our souls, our guilt remove, 
That we in Christ may live. 

4 To our benighted minds reveal 
The glories of his grace, 

And bring us where no clouds conceal 
The brightness of his face. 

5 His love within us shed abroad, 
Life's ever-springing well ; 

Till God in us, and we in God, 
In love eternal dwell. thomas haweis.

1 Great Spirit, by whose mighty power 
All creatures live and move, 

On us thy benediction shower; 
Inspire our souls with love. 

2 Hail, Source of light ! arise and shine ; 
Darkness and doubt dispel ; 

Give peace and joy, for we are thine ; 
In us forever dwell. 

3 From death to life our spirits raise, 
And full redemption bring ; 

New tongues impart to speak the praise 
Of Christ, our God and King. 

4 Thine inward witness bear, unknown 
To all the world beside ; 

Exulting then we feel and own 
Our Saviour glorified.

I love to worship thee ; 

My risen Lord for aye were lost 
But for thy company. 

2 I worship thee, O Holy Ghost, 
I love to worship thee ; 

I grieved thee long, alas ! thou know'st 
It grieves me bitterly,

I love to worship thee ; 

Thy patient love, at what a cost 
At last it conquered me !

I love to worship thee ; 

With thee each day is Pentecost, 
Each night Nativity.

S73 Receive ye the Holy Ghost.- John 20 : !i 

1 Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, 
And lighten with celestial fire ; 
Thou the anointing Spirit art, 

Who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart : 
Thy blessed unction from above 
Is comfort, life, and fire of love. 

2 Enable with perpetual light 
The dullness of our blinded sight ; 
Anoint and cheer our soiled face 
With the abundance of thy grace ; 
Keep far our foes, give peace at home ; 
Where thou art guide, no ill can come. 

3 Teach us to know the Father, Son, 
And thee, of both, to be but one ; 
That through the ages all along, 
This may be our endless song: 
Praise to thy eternal merit, 
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

1 for that flame of living Are, 
Which shone so bright in saints of old ! 

Which bade their souls to heaven aspire, 
Calm in distress, in danger bold. 

2 Where is that Spirit, Lord, which dwelt 
In Abrah'm's breast, and sealed him thine? 

Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt, 
And glow with energy divine? 

3 That Spirit, which from age to age 
Proclaimed thy love, and taught thy ways? 

Brightened Isaiah's vivid page, 
And breathed in David's hallowed lays? 

4 Is not thy grace as mighty now 
As when Elijah felt its power; 

When glory beamed from Moses' brow, 
Or Job endured the trying hour? 

5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days ; 
Renew thy work; thy grace restore; 

And while to thee our hearts we raise, 
On us thy Holy Spirit pour.

If still thou dost on sinners fall, 

Come as a mighty rushing wind;

And fix in us the Guest divine.

Where'er the foot of man hath trod, 
Descend on our apostate race.

To preach the reconciling word ; 

Give power and unction from above, 
Where'er the joyful sound is heard. 

3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light ; 
Confusion— order, in thy path ; 

Souls without strength, inspire with might ; 
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

The triumphs of the cross record ; 

The name of Jesus glorify, 
Till every kindred call him Lord.

And that shall kindle ours.

1 The heavens declare thy glory, Lord ; 
In every star thy wisdom shines ; 

But when our eyes behold thy word, 
We read thy name in fairer lines. 

2 The rolling sun, the changing light, 
And nights and days, thy power confess, 

But the blest volume thou hast writ, 
Reveals thy justice and thy grace. 

3 Sun, moon, and stars, convey thy praise 
Round the whole earth, and never stand : 

So when thy truth began its race, 
It touched and glanced on every land. 

4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest, 

Till through the world thy truth has run : 
Till Christ has all the nations blessed 
That see the light, or feel the sun. 

5 Great Sun of righteousness, arise, 

Bless the dark world with heavenly light ; 
Thy gospel makes the simple wise, 
Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.

In souls renewed, and sins forgiven : 

Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, 
And make thy word my guide to heaven.

Its truths divine and' precepts wise, 



In each a heavenly beam I see, 
And every beam conducts to thee, 

3 Almighty Lord, the sun shall fail, 
The moon forget her nightly tale, 
And deepest silence hush on high 
The radiant chorus of the sky ;

Unmoved amid the wreck of spheres, 
Thy word shall shine in cloudless day, 
When heaven and earth have passed 

away.

Revives my heart and checks my fear.

And gives my laboring conscience peace ; 
He lifts my grateful thoughts on high, 
And points to mansions in the sky.'

Through endless years, thy praise prolong ; 
Let distant climes thy name adore, 

Till time and nature are no more.

Directs our doubtful feet ; 

Here promises of heavenly love 
Our ardent wishes meet. 

3 Our numerous griefs are here redressed, 
And all our wants supplied : 

Naught we can ask to make us blest 
Is in this book denied.

That so enrich the mind,

For such a bright display, 

As makes a world of darkness shine

Till glory breaks upon my view

1 Father of mercies, in thy word 
What endless glory shines! 

Forever be thy name adored 
For these celestial lines. 

2 Here may the wretched sons of want 
Exhaust less riches And; 

Riches above what earth can grant, 
And lasting as the mind. 

3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, 
And yields a free repast ; 

Sublimer sweets than nature knows 
Invite the longing taste. 

4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice 
Spreads heavenly peace around ; 

And life and everlasting joys 
Attend the blissful sound. 

5 may these heavenly pages be 
Our ever dear delight ; 

And still new beauties may we see, 
And still increasing light. 

6 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord, 
Be thou forever near ; 

Teach us to love thy sacred word, 
And view the Saviour there. 



dOU Light from heaven. 

1 Bright was the guiding star that led, 
With mild, benignant ray, 



The Gentiles to the lowly bed 
Where the Redeemer lay. 

2 But lo ! a brighter, clearer light 
Now points to his abode ; 

It shines through sin and sorrow's nighi 
To guide us to our God. 

3 gladly tread the narrow path, 
While light and grace are given ; 

Who meekly follow Christ on earth 
Shall reign with him in heaven.

dUl God giveth the increase.— \ Cor. 3 : 7. 

1 Almighty God, thy word is cast 
Like seed upon the ground ; 

let the dew of heaven descend, 
And shed its influence round. 

2 Let not the foe of Christ and man 
This holy seed remove ; 

Kay it take root in every heart, 
And grow in faith and love. 

3 Let not this life's deceitful cares, 
Nor worldly wealth and joy, 

Nor scorching beam, nor stormy blast. 
The rising plant destroy. 

4 Where'er the word of life is sown, 
A large increase bestow ; 

That all who hear thy message, Lord, 
Its saving power may know.

302 Lord, help my unbelief. 

1 How sad our state by nature is! 
Our sin, how deep it stains! 

And Satan binds our captive souls 
Fast in his slavish chains. 

2 But there 's a voice of sovereign grace 
Sounds from the sacred word : 

"Ho! ye despairing sinners, come, 
And trust a faithful Lord." 

3 My soul obeys the gracious call, 
And runs to this relief ; 

I would believe thy promise, Lord ; 
help my unbelief ! 

4 To the blest fountain of thy blood, 
Incarnate God, I fly; 

Here let me wash my guilty soul 
From crimes of deepest dye. 

5 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, 
Into thine arms I fall; 

Be thou my strength and righteousness, 
My Jesus, and my all.

Without God in the world. 



303 



1 God is in this and every place ; 
But 0, how dark and void 

To me ! — 'tis one great wilderness, 
This earth without my God. 

2 Empty of him who all things fills, 
Till he his light impart, 

Till he his glorious self reveals, 
The veil is on my heart. 



3 O Thou who seest and know'st my grief, 
Thyself unseen, unknown, 

Pity my helpless unbelief, 
And break my heart of stone. 

4 Regard me with a gracious eye ; 
The long-sought blessing give ; 

And bid me, at the point to die, 
Behold thy face and live.

His pitying love. 



1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair, 
We wretched sinners lay, 

Without one cheering beam of hope, 
Or spark of glimmering day. 

2 With pitying eyes the Prince of grace 
Beheld our helpless grief : 

He saw, and, amazing love ! 
He ran to our relief. 

3 Down from the shining seats above, 
With joyful haste he sped, 

Entered the grave in mortal flesh, 
And dwelt among the dead. 

4 for this love let rocks and hills 
Their lasting silence break ; 

And all harmonious human tongues, 
The Saviour's praises speak. 

5 Angels, assist our mighty joys ; 
Strike all your harps of gold ; 

But when you raise your highest notes, 
His love can ne'er be told.

oUO Original corruption and actual sin. 

1 Lord, we are vile, conceived in sin, 
And born unholy and unclean ; 
Sprung from the man whose guilty fall 
Corrupts his race, and taints us all. 

2 Soon as we draw our infant breath 
The seeds of sin grow up for death ; 
Thy law demands a perfect heart, 
But we 're defiled in every part. 

3 Behold, we fall before thy face ; 
Our only refuge is thy grace : 

No outward forms can make us clean ; 
The leprosy lies deep within. 

4 Nor bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast, 
Nor hyssop branch, nor sprinkling priest, 
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea, 
Can wash the dismal stain away. 

5 Jesus, thy blood, thy blood alone, 
Hath power sufficient to atone ; 

Thy blood can make us white as snow ; 
No Jewish types could cleanse us so. 

6 While guilt disturbs and breaks our 

peace, 
Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease ; 
Lord, let us hear thy pardoning voice, 
And make these broken hearts rejoice. 



ISAAC WATTS.

The great Physician. 

1 Deep are the wounds which sin has 
made; 

Where shall the sinner find a cure? 
In vain, alas ! is nature's aid ; 

The work exceeds her utmost power. 



113 



2 But can no sovereign balm be found, 
And is no kind physician nigh. 

To ease the pain and heal the wound, 
Ere life and hope forever fly? 

3 There is a .great Physician near ; 
Look up, fainting soul, and live ; 

See, in his heavenly smiles, appear 
Such help as nature cannot give. 

4 See, in the Saviour's dying blood, 
Life, health, and bliss abundant flow; 

And in that sacrificial flood 
A balm for all thy grief and woe. 



dU7 Inbred leprosy. 

1 Jesus, a word, a look from thee, 

Can turn my heart and make it clean ; 
Purge out the inbred leprosy, 
And save me from my bosom sin. 

2 Lord, if thou wilt, I do believe 
Thou canst the saving grace impart ; 

Thou canst this instant now forgive, 
And stamp thine image on my heart. 

3 My heart, which now to thee I raise, 

I know thou canst this moment cleanse ; 
The deepest stains of sin efface, 
And drive the evil spirit hence. 

4 Be it according to thy word ; 
Accomplish now thy work in me; 

And let my soul, to health restored, 
Devote its deathless powers to thee.

308 In trespasses and sins. 

1 My former hopes are fled ; 
My terror now begins: 

1 feel, alas! that I am dead 
In trespasses and sins. 

2 When I review my ways, 

I dread impending doom: 
But hark ! a friendly whisper says, 
"Flee from the wrath to come." 

3 With trembling hope I see 
A glimmering from afar; 

a beam of day that shines for me, 
To save me from despair. 

4 Forerunner of the sun, 

It marks the pilgrim's way ; 
I '11 gaze upon it while I run, 
And watch the rising day. 

WILLIAM COWPEE. 

o09 Dependence on the Spirit. 

1 How helpless nature lies, 
Unconscious of her load ! 

The heart unchanged can never rise 
To happiness and God. 

2 Can aught but power divine 
The stubborn will subdue? 

'Tis thine, eternal Spirit, thine 
To form the heart anew ; 

3 The passions to recall, 
And upward bid them rise ; 

To make the scales of error fall 
From reason's darkened eyes. 

4 change these hearts of ours, 
And give them life divine; 

Then shall our passions and our powers, 
Almighty Lord, be thine. 



3X0 Helpless and guilty. 

1 AH, how shall fallen man 
Be just before his God? 

If he contend in righteousness, 
We sink beneath his rod. 

2 If he our ways should mark 
With strict inquiring eyes, 

Could we for one of thousand faults 
A just excuse devise? 



3 The mountains, in thy wrath, 
Their ancient seats forsake; 

The trembling earth deserts her place, 
Her rooted pillars shake. 

4 Ah, how shall guilty man 
Contend with such a God? 

None— none can meet him, and escape, 
But through the Saviour's blood. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

oil Obduracy bemoaned. 

1 that I could repent ! 
O that I could believe ! 

Thou, by thy voice, the marble rend, 

The rock in sunder cleave : 
Thou, by thy two-edged sword, 

My soul and spirit part ; 
Strike with the hammer of thy word, 

And break my stubborn heart. 

2 Saviour, and Prince of peace, 
The double grace bestow ; 

Unloose the bands of wickedness. 

And let the captive go: 
Grant me my sins to feel, 

And then the load remove : 
Wound, and pour in, my wounds to heal, 

The balm of pardoning love. 

CHAfiLKS WKSLKY. 

ol^ Christ our ransom. 

1 Our sins on Christ were laid ; 
He bore the mighty load ; 

Our ransom-price he fully paid 
In groans, and tears, and blood. 

2 To save a world, he dies ; 
Sinners, behold the Lamb ! 

To him lift up your longing eyes; 
Seek mercy in his name. 

3 Pardon and peace abound ; 
He will your sins forgive; 

Salvation in his name is found,— 
He bids the sinner live. 

4 Jesus, we look to thee ; 
Where else can sinners go? 

Thy boundless love shall set us free 
From wretchedness and woe.

dl4: The precious blood. 

1 God's holy law transgressed, 
Speaks nothing but despair ; 

Convinced of guilt, with grief oppressed, 
We find no comfort there. 

2 Not all our groans and tears, 
Nor works which we have done, 

Nor vows, nor promises, nor prayers, 
Can e'er for sin atone. 

3 Relief alone is found 

In Jesus' precious blood : 
'Tis this that heals the mortal wound, 
And reconciles to God. 

4 High lifted on the cross 
The spotless Victim dies ; 

This is salvation's only source; 
Hence all our hopes arise.

olO Wonders of redemption. 

1 How great the wisdom, power, and grace, 
Which in redemption shine ! 

The heavenly host with ioy confess 
The work is all divine. 

2 Before His feet they cast their crowns,— 
Those crowns which Jesus gave,— 

And, with ten thousand thousand tongues, 
Proclaim his power to save. 



3 They tell the triumphs of his cross, 
The sufferings which he bore ; 

How low he stooped, how high he rose, 
And rose to stoop no more. 

4 With them let us our voices raise, 
And still the song renew : 

Salvation well deserves the praise 
Of men and angels too.

olU TVie dearest name. 

1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds 
In a believer's ear ! 

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, 
And drives away his fear. 

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, 
And calms the troubled breast ; 

Tis manna to the hungry soul, 
And to the weary, rest. 

3 Dear name ! the rock on which I build, 
My shield and hiding-place ; 

My never-failing treasure, filled 
With boundless stores of grace ! 

4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour. Friend, 
My Prophet, Priest, and King, 

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, 
Accept the praise I bring ! 

5 I would thy boundless love proclaim 
With every fleeting breath ; 

So shall the music of thy name 
Refresh my soul in death. 

JOHN NEWTON. 



317 Ceaseless goodness. 

1 Thy ceaseless, unexhausted love, 
Unmerited and free, 

Delights our evil to remove, 
And help our misery. 

2 Thou waitest to be gracious still ; 
Thou dost with sinners bear ; 

That, saved, we may thy goodness feel, 
And all thy grace declare. 

3 Thy goodness and thy truth to me, 
To every soul, abound ; 



A vast, unfathomable sea, 
Where all our thoughts are drowned. 

4 Its streams the whole creation reach, 
So plenteous is the store ; 

Enough for all, enough for each, 
Enough for evermore. 

5 Faithful, O Lord, thy mercies are, 
A rock that cannot move : 

A thousand promises declare 
Thy constancy of love. 

6 Throughout the universe it reigns, 
Unalterably sure; 

And while the truth of God remains, 
His goodness must endure. 

CHAELK8 WESLEY. 



318 The Way, the Truth, and the Life. 

1 Thou art the Way :— to thee alone 
* From sin and death we flee ; 
And he who would the Father seek, 

Must seek him, Lord, by thee. 

2 Thou art the Truth :— thy word alone 
True wisdom can impart ; 

Thou only canst inform the mind, 
And purify the heart. 

3 Thou art the Life :— the rending tomb 
Proclaims thy conquering arm ; 

And those who put their trust in thee 
Nor death nor hell shall harm. 

4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life; 
Grant us that Way to know, 

That Truth to keep, that Life to win, 
Whose joys eternal flow.

O-Lc/ The cleansing fountain. 

1 There is a fountain filled with blood 
Drawn from Immanuel's veins ; 

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, 
Lose all their guilty stains. 

2 The dying thief rejoiced to see 
That fountain in his day; 

And there may I, though vile as he, 
Wash all my sins away. 

3 Thou dying Lamb ! thy precious blood 
Shall never lose its power, 

Till all the ransomed Church of God 
Are saved, to sin no more. 

4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream 
Thy flowing wounds supply, 

Redeeming love has been my theme, 
And shall be till I die. 

5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, 
I '11 sing thy power to save, 

When this poor lisping, stammering tongue 
Lies silent in the grave. 

6 Lord, I believe thou hast prepared, 
Unworthy though I be, 

For me a blood-bought, free reward, 
A golden harp for me ! 



7 'Tis strung and tuned for endless years, 
And formed by power divine, 

To sound in God the Father's ears, 
No other name but thine.

320 The piercid hand. 

1 When wounded sore, the stricken soul 
Lies bleeding and unbound. 

One only hand, a pierced hand, 
Can heal the sinner's wound. 

2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, 
And tears of anguish flow, 

One only heart, a broken heart, 
(an feel the sinner's woe. 

3 When penitence has wept in vain 
Over some foul, dark spot, 

One only stream, a stream of blood, 
Can wash away the blot. 

4 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white, 
His hand that brings relief ; 

His heart that 's touched with all our joys, 
And feeleth for our grief. 

5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, Lord ! 
Unseal that cleansing tide : 

We have no shelter from our sin 
But in thy wounded side.

Harmonious to the ear; 

Heaven with the echo shall resound, 
And all the earth shall hear. 

2 Grace first contrived a way 
To save rebellious man ; 

And all the steps that grace display, 
Which drew the wondrous plan. 

3 Grace taught my roving feet 
To tread the heavenly road; 

And new supplies each hour I meet, 
While pressing on to God. 

4 Grace all the work shall crown 
Through everlasting days ; 

It lays in heaven the topmost stone, 
And well deserves our praise.

2 Down from his throne on high, 
The mighty Saviour comes ; 

Lays his bright robes of glory by. 
And feeble flesh assumes. 

3 The debt that sinners owed, 
Upon the cross he pays : 

Then through the clouds ascends to 
God, 
'Midst shouts of loftiest praise. 

4 There our High Priest appears 
Before his Father's throne ; 

Mingles his merits with our tears, 
And pours salvation down. 

5 Great Sovereign, we adore 
Thy justice and thy grace, 

And on thy faithfulness and power 
Our firm dependence place.

The spacious earth around, 

"While all the armies of the sky

And doomed to endless woe.

While angels view with wondering eyes, 
And hail the incarnate God.

Thy fullness I implore.

And bids your longing appetites

And pine away and die, 

Here you may quench your raging thirst 
With springs that never dry. 

5 Rivers of love and mercy here 
In a rich ocean join ;

Like floods of milk and wine.

Stand open night and day :

And drive our wants away.

Ask, and he turns your hell to heaven : 
Though sin and sorrow wound my soul, 
Jesus, thy balm will make it whole. 

3 To shame our sins he blushed in blood ; 
He closed his eyes to show us God : 

Let all the world fall down and know 
That none but God such love can show. 

4 'Tis thee I love, for thee alone 

I shed my tears and make my moan ; 
Where'er I am, where'er I move, 
I meet the object of my love. 

5 Insatiate to this spring I fly ; 
I drink, and yet am ever dry : 

Ah! who against thy charms is proof? 
Ah! who that loves, can love enough? 

BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX. TR. BY A. W. BOEHM. 



The divine Teacher. 



Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke, 
Unveiling an immortal day. 

3 "Come, wanderers, to my Father's 

home; 
Come, all ye weary ones, and rest." 
Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come, 
Obey, and be forever blest. 

4 Decay, then, tenements of dust I 
Pillars of earthly pride, decay ! 

A nobler mansion waits the just, 
And Jesus has prepared the way. 

SIR JOHN BOWRINO. 



I 32Q The gift unspeakable. 

1 Happy the man who finds the grace, 
The blessing of God's chosen race, 
j The wisdom coming from above, 
j The faith that sweetly works by love. 

j 2 Wisdom divine ! who tells the price 

Of wisdom's costly merchandise? 
j Wisdom to silver we prefer, 
I And gold is dross compared to her. 



1 How sweetly flowed the gospel's sound 
From lips of gentleness and grace, 

While listening thousands gathered found, I 
And joy and reverence filled the place I 

3 From heaven He came, of heaven he 
spoke, 
To heaven he led his followers' way ; 



3 Her hands are filled with length of days, 
True riches, and immortal praise ; 

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, 
And all her flowery paths are peace. 

4 Happy the man who wisdom gains ; 
Thrice happy, who his guest retains : 
He owns, and shall forever own, 
Wisdom, and Christ, and heaven, are one.

1 The voice of free grace cries, "Escape 

to the mountain ; 

For Adam'? lost race Christ hath opened a 
fountain : 

For sin and uncleanness, and every trans- 
gression, 

His blood flows most freely, in streams of 
salvation." 
Hallelujah to the Lamb, who has pur- 
chased our pardon ! 
We will praise him again when we pass 
over Jordan. 

2 Now glory to God in the highest is given ; 
Now glory to God is re-echoed in heaven ; 
Around the whole earth let us tell the glad 

story, 
And sing of his love, his salvation and glory. 



3 O Jesus, ride on,— thy kingdom is glo- 
rious ; 

O'er sin, death, and hell, thou wilt make us 
victorious : 

Thy name shall be praised in the great 
congregation, 

And saints shall ascribe unto thee their 
salvation. 



4 When on Zion we stand, having gained 

the blest shore, 
With our harps in our hands, we will praise 

evermore : 
We '11 range the blest fields on the banks of 

the river, 
And sing of redemption forever and ever.

1 Blow ye the trumpet, blow, 
The gladly-solemn sound ! 

Let all tne nations know, 
To earth's remotest bound, 
The year of jubilee is come! 
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. 

2 Jesus, our great High Priest, 
Hath full atonement made: 

Ye weary spirits, rest; 
Ye mournful souls, be glad : 
The year of jubilee is come! 
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. 

3 Extol the Lamb of God, 
The all-atoning Lamb; 

Redemption in his blood 
Throughout the world proclaim : 
The year of jubilee is come! 
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. 

4 Ye slaves of sin and hell, 
Your liberty receive, 

And safe in Jesus dwell, 
And blest in Jesus live : 
The .year of jubilee is come ! 
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. 

5 Ye who have sold for naught 
Your heritage above, 

Shall have it back unbought, 
The gift of Jesus' love : 
The year of jubilee is come ! 
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. 

6 The gospel trumpet hear, 
The news of heavenly grace ; 

And, saved from earth, appear 
Before your Saviour's face : 
iTie year of jubilee is come ! 
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

OO^ Jesus, the all-atoning Lamb. 

1 Let earth and heaven agree, 
Angels and men be joined, 

To celebrate with me 
The Saviour of mankind : 
To adore the all-atoning Lamb, 
And bless the sound of Jesus' name. 

2 Jesus ! transporting sound ! 
The joy of earth and heaven ; 

No other help is found, 
No other name is given, 
By which we can salvation have ; 
But Jesus came the world to save. 

3 Jesus ! harmonious name ! 
It charms the hosts above ; 

They evermore proclaim 
And wonder at his love : 
'Tis all their happiness to gaze,— 
'Tis heaven to see our Jesus' face. 

4 His name the sinner hears, 
And is from sin set free; 

'Tis music in his ears; 
'Tis life and victory; 
New songs do now his lips employ, 
And dances his glad heart for joy. 

5 O unexampled love ! 

all-redeeming grace! 
How swiftly didst thou move 
To save a fallen race ! 
What shall I do to make it known, 
What thou for all mankind hast done? 
(5 for a trumpet voice, 

On all the world to call, 

To bid their hearts rejoice 

In him who died for all ! 

For all my Lord was crucified ; 

For all, for all, my Saviour died.

1 turn ye, turn ye, for why will ye die, 
When God in great mercy is coming so nigh ? 
Kow Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, 

"Come," 
And angels are waiting to welcome you 
home. 

2 And now Christ is ready your souls to re- 

ceive, 
O how can you question, if you will believe? 
if sin is your burden, why will you not 

come ? 
'Tis you he bids welcome ; he bids you come 

home. 

3 In riches, in pleasures, what can you ob- 

tain, 
To soothe your affliction, or banish your 

pain? 
To bear up ycur spirit when summoned to 

die, 
Or waft you to mansions of glory on high ? 
■i Why will you be starving, and feeding on 

air? 
There's mercy in Jesus, enough and to 

spare ; 
If still you are doubting, make trial and see, 
And prove that his mercy is boundless and 

free. josiah hopkixs. 



336 Delay not. 

1 Delay not, delay not. O sinner, draw near, 
The waters of life are now flowing for 
thee; 



No price is demanded, the Saviour is here, 
Redemption is purchased, salvation is 
free. 

2 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse 
The love and compassion of Jesus, thy 

God? 
A fountain is open, how canst thou refuse 
To wash and be cleansed in his pardon- 
ing blood? 

3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, 
For Mercy still lingers and calls thee to- 
day: 

Her voice is not heard in the vale of the 
tomb ; 
Her message, unheeded, will soon pass 
away. 

4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace 
Long grieved and resisted, may take his 

sad flight, 
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy 
race, 
To sink in the gloom of eternity's night. 



5 Delay not, delay not, the hour is at 
hand, 
The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens 
shall fade, 
The dead, small and great, in the judgment 
shall stand ; 
What power then, O sinner, will lend thee 
its aid !

1 Weary souls, that wander wide 
From the central point of bliss, 

Turn to Jesus crucified ; 

Fly to those dear wounds of his : 
Sink into the purple flood ; 
Rise into the life of God. 

2 Find in Christ the way of peace, 
Peace unspeakable, unknown ; 

By his pain he gives you ease, 
Life by his expiring groan : 
Rise exalted by his fall; 
Find in Christ your all in all. 

3 O believe the record true, 
God to you his Son hath given ; 

Ye may now be happy too, 

Find on earth the life of heaven : 
Live the life of heaven above, 
All the life of glorious love. 

4 This the universal bliss, 
Bliss for every soul designed ; 

God's original promise this, 

God's great gift to all mankind : 
Blest in Christ this moment be, 
Blest to all eternity.

1 From the cross uplifted high, 
Where the Saviour deigns to die, 
What melodious sounds we hear 
Bursting on the ravished ear ! 
"Love's redeeming work is done, 
Come and welcome, sinner, come ! 



2 "Sprinkled now with blood the throne, 
Why beneath thy burdens groan ? 

On his pierced body laid, 
Justice owns the ransom paid ; 
Bow the knee, embrace the Son, 
Come and welcome, sinner, come ! 

3 " Spread for thee, the festal board 
See with richest bounty stored ; 

To thy Father's bosom pressed, 
Thou shalt be a child confessed, 
Never from his house to roam ; 
Come and welcome, sinner, come ! " 

THOMAS HAWEIS. 



C>Oi3 The work of sin. 

1 Hearts of stone, relent, relent ! 
Break, by Jesus' cross subdued ; 

See his body mangled, rent, 

Covered with his flowing blood ! 
Sinful soul, what hast thou done? 
Crucifled the Eternal Son ! 

2 Yes, thy sins have done the deed, 
Driven the nails that fixed him there, 

Crowned with thorns his sacred head, 

Pierced him with a soldier's spear, 
Made his soul a sacrifice ; 
For a sinful world he dies. 

3 Wilt thou let him die in vain ? 
Still to death pursue our God? 

Open all his wounds again? 

Trample on his precious blood ? 
No ; with all my sins I '11 part ; 
Saviour, take my broken heart.

o4rO Invitation hymn. 

1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, 
"Weak and wounded, sick and sore ; 

Jesus ready stands to save you, 
Full of pity, love, and power: 

He is able, 
He is willing : doubt no more. 

2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome : 
God's free bounty glorify; 

True belief and true repentance, 
Every grace that brings you nigh, 

Without money. 
Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 

3 Let not conscience make you linger, 
Nor of fitness fondly dream; 

All the fitness he requireth 
Is to feel your need of him : 

This he gives you ; 
'Tis the Spirit's glimmering beam. 

4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, 
Bruised and mangled by the fall ; 



If you tarry till you 're better. 
You will never come at all ; 

Not the righteous,— 
Sinners Jesus came to call. 

5 Agonizing in the garden, 
Your Redeemer prostrate lies ; 

On the bloody tree behold him ! 
Hear him cry, before he dies, 

"It is finished!" 
Sinners, will not this suffice? 

6 Lo ! the incarnate God, ascending, 
Pleads the merit of his blood : 

Venture on him, venture freely ; 
Let no other trust intrude : 

None but Jesus 
Can do helpless sinners good. 

7 Saints and angels, joined in concert, 
Sing the praises of the Lamb ; 

While the blissful seats of heaven 
Sweetly echo with his name : 

Hallelujah ! 
Sinners here may do the same.

1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain, 
Sinners ruined by the fall ; 

Here a pure and healing fountain 

Flows to you, to me, to all, 
In a full perpetual tide, 
Opened when our Saviour died. 

2 Come, in sorrow and contrition, 
Wounded, impotent, and blind ; 

Here the guilty, free remission, 

Here the lost a refuge find. 
Health this fountain will restore ; 
He that drinks need thirst no more. 

3 Come, ye dying, live forever ;

God is faithful ; he will never 

Break his covenant sealed in blood ; 
Signed when our Redeemer died, 
Sealed when he was glorified.

Sent in mercy from above ?

News from Zion's King proclaim :

"Pardon to each rebel sinner, 
Free forgiveness in his name:" 

How important ! 
" Free forgiveness in his name." 

3 Tempted souls, they bring you succor • 
Fearful hearts, they quell your fears, 

And, with news of consolation, 
Chase away the falling tears : 

Tender heralds ! 
Chase away the falling tears.

Waiting spirits, speed your way ; 

Haste ye to the court of heaven, 
Tidings bear without delay.

Glad the message will obey.

2 Haste, O sinner, to the Saviour! 
Seek his mercy while you may ;

Soon your life will pass away:

Stay not for the morrow's sun, 

Lest thy season should be o'er 
Ere this evening's stage be run. 

3 Hasten, sinner, to return ! 
Stay not for the morrow's sun,

Come the way to Zion's gate : 

There, till mercy lets thee in, 

Knock, and weep, and watch, and wait. 
Knock —He knows the sinner's cry ; 

Weep— he loves the mourner's tears ; 
Watch, for saving grace is nigh; 

Wait, till heavenly light appears. 

2 Hark, it is the Bridegroom's voice: 
"Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest!" 

Now within the gate rejoice, 

Safe, and sealed, and bought, and blest : 
Safe, from all the lures of vice ; 

Sealed, by signs the chosen know ; 
Bought by love, and life the price ; 

Blest, the mighty debt to owe. 

3 Holy pilgrim, what for thee 
In a world like this remain? 

From thy guarded breast shall flee 
Fear, and shame, and doubt, and pain ; 

Fear, the hope of heaven shall fly ; 
Shame, from glory's view retire; 

Doubt, in certain rapture die; 
P--un, in endless bliss expire.

1 Sinners, turn; why will ye die? 
God, your Maker, asks you why ; 
God, who did your being give, 
Made you with himself to live ; 
He the fatal cause demands ; 
Asks the work of his own hands, 
Why, ye thankless creatures, why 
Will ye cross his love, and die? 

2 Sinners, .turn; why will ye die? 
God, your Saviour, asks you why; 
He, who did your souls retrieve, 
Died himself, that ye might live. 
Will ye let him die in vain? 
Crucify your Lord again? 

Why, ye ransomed sinners, why 
Will ye slight his grace, and die? 

3 Sinners, turn ; why will ye die ? 
God, the Spirit, asks you why; 
He, who all your lives hath strove, 
Wooed you to embrace his love. 
Will ye not his grace receive ? 
Will ye still refuse to live? 

Why, ye long-sought sinners, why 
Will ye grieve your God, and die? 

4 Dead, already dead within,— 
Spiritually dead in sin ; 

Dead to God while here you breathe, 
Pant ye after second death ? 



Will ye still in sin remain, 
Greedy of eternal pain? 
O ye dying sinners, why, 
Why will ye forever die?

SECOND PART. 

o4fcO Tender expostulation. 

1 What could your Redeemer do, 
More than he hath done for you? 
To procure your peace with God, 
Could he more than shed his blood? 
After all his flow of love, 

All his drawings from above, 
Why will ye your Lord deny? 
Why will ye resolve to die?" 

2 "Turn," he cries, "ye sinners, turn: 
By his life, your God hath sworn, 

He would have you turn and live ; 
He would all the world receive. 
If your death were his delight, 
Would he you to life invite? 
Would he ask, beseech, and cry, 
" Why will ye resolve to die? " 

3 Sinners, turn, while God is near; 
Dare not think him insincere : 
Now, e'en now, your Saviour stands ; 
All day long he spreads his hands; 
Cries, " Ye will not happy be ; 

No, ye will not come to me— 
Me, who life to none deny . 
Why will ye resolve to die? "

O^tc/ ITie accepted time. 

1 While life prolongs its precious light, 
Mercy is found, and peace is given ; 

But soon, ah, soon, approaching night 
Shall blot out every hope of heaven. 

2 While God invites, how blest the day! 
How sweet the gospel's charming sound ! 

tome, sinners, haste, haste away, 
While yet a pardoning God is found. 

3 Soon, borne on time's most rapid wing, 
Shall death command you to the grave, 

Before his bar your spirits bring, , 
And none be found to hear or save. 

4 In that lone land of deep despair, 

No Sabbath's heavenly light shall rise, 
No God regard your bitter prayer, 
No Saviour call you to the skies. 

5 Now God invites; how blest the day! 
How sweet the gospel's charming sound ! 

Come, sinners, haste, O haste away. 
While yet a pardoning God is found. 

TIMOTHY I>W"IGHT. 
FIRST PART. 

oOU All things are ready. 

1 Sinners, obey the gospel word ; 
Haste to the supper of my Lord ; 

Be wise to know your gracious day ; 
All things are ready,— come away. 

2 Ready the Father is to own 
And kiss his late-returning son ; 
Ready your loving Saviour stands, 

And spreads for you his bleeding hands. 

3 Ready the Spirit of his love, 
Just now the stony to remove; 



130 



To apply and witness with the blood, 
And wash and seal the sons of God. 

4 Ready for you the angels wait, 
To triumph in your blest estate ; 
Tuning their harps, they long to praise 
The wonders of redeeming grace. 

5 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, 
Are ready, with their shining host : 
All heaven is ready to resound, 

" The dead 's alive ! the lost is found I " 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



SECOND PART. 

OOI The bliss of penitence. 

1 Come, ye sinners, to the Lord, 
In Christ to paradise restored : 
His proffered benefits embrace, 
The plenitude of gospel grace : 

2 A pardon written with his blood ; 
The favor and the peace of God ; 
The seeing eye, the feeling sense, 
The mystic joys of penitence : 

3 The godly fear, the pleasing smart, 
The meltings of a broken heart ; 

The tears that tell your sins forgiven ; 
The sighs that waft your souls to heaven : 

4 The guiltless shame, the sweet distress, 
The unutterable tenderness, 

The genuine, meek humility ; 

The wonder, "Why such love to me?" 

5 The o'erwhelming power of saving grace, 
The sight that veils the seraph's face ; 
The speechless awe that dares not move, 
And all the silent heaven of love.

3o2 God calling yet. 

1 GOD calling yet! shall I not hear? 
Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear? 
Shall life's swift passing years all fly, 
And still my soul in slumber lie ? 

2 God calling yet! shall I not rise? 
Can I his loving voice despise, 
And basely his kind care repay? 
He calls me still; can I delay? 

3 God calling yet ! and shall he knock, 
And I my heart the closer lock? 

He still is waiting to receive, 
And shall I dare his Spirit grieve? 

4 God calling yet ! and shall I give 
No heed, but still in bondage live? 
I wait, but he does not forsake ; 

He calls me still ; my heart, awake ! 

5 God calling yet ! I cannot stay ; 
My heart I yield without delay : 

Vain world, farewell, from thee I part ; 
The voice of God hath reached my heart. 

GERHARD TERSTEEGEN. 

TR. BY MISS J. BOKTHWICK. 



3 Q 3 Quench not the Spirit.— 1 Thess. 5 : 19. 

1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within 
Oft whispered to thy secret soul, 

Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, 
And yield thy heart to God's control? 

2 Sinner, it was a heavenly voice, 
It was the Spirit's gracious call ; 

It bade thee make the better choice, 
And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 



3 Spurn not the call to life and light ; 
Regard in time the warning kind ; 

That call thou mayst not always slight, 
And yet the gate of mercy find. 

4 God's Spirit will not always strive 
With hardened, self-destroying man; 

Ye, who persist his love to grieve, 
May never hear his voice again. 

5 Sinner, perhaps this very day 
Tby last accepted time may be ; 

O shouldst thou grieve him now away, 
Then hope may never beam on thee. 

MRS. ANN B. HYDE. 



o£>4r Haste, traveler, haste I 

1 Haste, traveler, haste ! the night comes 

on, 
And many a shining hour is gone ; 
The storm is gathering in the' west, 
And thou art far from home and rest. 

2 far from home thy footsteps stray; 
Christ is the Life, and Christ the Way, 
And Christ the Light ; thy setting sun 
Sinks ere thy morning is begun. 

3 The rising tempest sweeps the sky 
The rains descend, the winds are high ; 
The waters swell, and death and fear 
Beset thy path, nor refuge near. 

4 Then linger not in all the plain, 
Flee for tuy life, the mountain gain ; 
Look not behind, make no delay, 

speed thee, speed thee on thy way.

355 TPfcosoerer trfU.— Rev. 82: 17. 

1 The Spirit, in our hearts, 

Is whispering, "Sinner, come:" 
The bride, the Church of Christ, proclaii 
To all his children, "Come!" 

2 Let him that heareth say 
To all about him, "Come!" 

Let him that thirsts for righteousness. 
To Christ, the fountain, come! 

3 Yea, whosoever will, 
O let him freely come, 

And freely drink the stream of life; 
"Us Jesus bids him come. 

4 Lo ! Jesus, who invites, 
Declares, "I quickly come;" 

Lord, even so ! we wait thine hour ; 

blest Redeemer, come ! 

H. U. ONDERDONK. 

356 The guardianship of angels. 

1 Ye simple souls that stray 
Far from the path of peace. 

That lonely, unfrequented way 

To life and happiness, 
Why will ve folly love, , 

And throng the downward road, 
And hate the wisdom from above, 

And mock the sons of God? 

2 So wretched and obscure, 
The men whom ye despise, 

So foolish, impotent, and poor,— 
Above your scorn we rise : 

We through the Holy Ghost, 
Can witness better things ; 

For he whose blood is all our boast, 
Hatb made us priests and kings. 



132 



3 Riches unsearchable 

In Jesus' love we know; 
And pleasures springing from the well 

Of life, our souls o'erflow : 
The Spirit we receive 

Of wisdom, grace, and power; 
And always sorrowful we live, 

Rejoicing evermore. 

4 Angels our servants are, 
And keep in all our ways, 

And in their watchful hands they bear 

The sacred sons of grace : 
Unto that heavenly bliss 

They all our steps attend ; 
And God himself our Father is, 

And Jesus is our friend. 

JOHN WK8LBY. 



d57 All things are ready.— Matt. 22 : 4. 

1 " All things are ready," come, 
Come to the supper spread ; 

Come, rich and poor, come, old and young. 
Come, and be richly fed. 

2 " All things are ready," come, 
The invitation's given, 

Through Him who now in glory sits 
At God's right hand in heaven. 

3 "All things are ready," come, 
The door is open wide ; 

O feast upon the love of God, 
For Christ, his Son, has died. 

4 "All things are ready," come, 
To-morrow may not be ; 

O sinner, come, the Saviour waits 
This hour to welcome thee.

000 Tlie second death. 

1 where shall rest be found, 
Rest for the weary soul? 

'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, 
Or pierce to either pole. 

2 The world can never give 
The bliss for which we sigh ; 

'Tis not the whole of life to live, 
Nor all of death to die. 

3 Beyond this vale of tears 
There is a life above. 

Fn measured by the flight of years; 
And all that life is love. 

4 There is a death, whose pang 
Outlasts the fleeting breath : 

what eternal horrors hang 
Around the second death I 

5 Thou God of truth and grace, 
Teach ns that death to shun ; 

Lest we be banished from thy face, 
For evermore undone. 

JAMES MONTGOMERY. 

009 Accepting f7ie inritaton. 

1 Come, weary sinners, come, 
Groaning beneath your load; 

The Saviour calls his wanderers home ; 
Haste to your pardoning God. 

2 Come, all by guilt oppressed, 
Answer the Saviour's call, 

"O come, and I will give you rest, 
And I will save you all." 

3 Redeemer, full of love, 
We would thy word obey, 

And all thy faithful mercies prove : 
take our guilt away. 



133 



4 We would on thee rely, 
On thee would cast our care : 

Now to thine arms of mercy fly, 
And find salvation there. * 

CHARLES WESLEY, ALT. 

OOU Seek Him icJi ilc he may be found. 

1 My son, know thou the Lord, 
Thy father's God obey: 

Seek his protecting care by night, 
His guardian hand by day. "" 

2 Call, while he may be found; 
Seek him while he is near ; 

Serve him with all thy heart and mind, 
And worship him with fear. 

3 If thou wilt seek his face, 
His ear will hear thy cry : 

Then shalt thou find liis mercy sure, 
His grace forever nigh. 

4 But if thou leave thy God, 
Nor choose the path' to heaven. 

Then shalt thou perish in thy sins, 
And never be forgiven. 

SOBEKX C. BBACKEXBTTBY. 

oOl Tlie day of gj'ace. 

1 Now is the accepted time, 
Now is the day of grace ; 

Now, sinners, come without delay, 
And seek the Saviour's face. 

2 Now is the accepted time, 
The Saviour calls to-dav ; 

To-morrow it may be too late — 
Then why should you delay? 

3 Now is the accepted time, 
The gospel bids you come ; 

And every promise in his word 
Declares there yet is room.

oO^ The abundance of His grace. 

1 Ho ! every one that thirsts draw nigh : 
'Tis God invites the fallen race: 

Mercy and free salvation buy ; 
Buy wine, and milk, and gospel grace. 

2 Come to the living waters, come ! 
Sinners, obey your Maker's call ; 

Return, ye weary wanderers, home, 
And find his grace is free for all. 

3 See from the Rock a fountain rise ; 
For you in healing streams it rolls; 

Money ye need not bring, nor price, 
Ye laboring, burdened, sin-sick souls. 

4 Nothing ye in exchange shall give ; 
Leave all you have and are behind ; 

Frankly the gift cf God receive ; 
Pardon and peace in Jesus find. 

JOHN WESLEY. 



363 Come to Me. 

1 With tearful eyes I look around; 
Life seems a dark and stormy sea ; 

Yet 'midst the gloom I hear a sound, 
A heavenly whisper, " Come tome!" 

2 It tells me of a place of rest. 

It tells me where my soul may flee : 
O to the weary, faint, oppressed, 
How sweet the bidding, " Come to me ! ; 

3 When against sin I strive in vain, 
And cannot from its yoke get free, 

Sinking beneath the heavy chain, 
The words arrest me, "Come to me! ' 



4 When nature shudders, loath to part 
From all I love, enjoy, and see; 

When a faint chill steals o'er my heart, 
A sweet voice utters. "Come to me! 

5 "Come, for all else must fail and die; 
Earth is no resting-place for thee; 

Heavenward direct thy weeping eye ; 
I am thy portion ; come to me ! " 

CHARLOTTE ELLIOTT. 



364 The gospel feast. 

1 Come, sinners, to the gospel feast ; 
Let every soul be Jesus' guest : 

Ye need not one be left behind. 
For God hath bidden all mankind. 

2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call ; 
The invitation is to all : 

Come all the world ! come, sinner, thou I 
All things in Christ are ready now. 

3 Come, all ye souls by sin oppressed, 
Ye restless wanderers after rest ; 

Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind 
In Christ a hearty welcome find. 

4 My message as from God receive ; 
Ye all may come to Christ and live : 
O let his love your hearts constrain, 
Nor suffer him to die in vain. 

5 See him set forth before your eyes, 
That precious, bleeding sacrifice : 
His offered benefits embrace, 

And freely now be saved by grace.

000 Sin kills beyond the tomb. 

1 Vain man, thy fond pursuits forbear; 
Repent, thine end is nigh; 

Death, at the farthest, can't he far : 
think before thou die. 

2 Reflect, thou hast a soul to save : 
Thy sins, how high they mount ! 

What are thy hopes beyond the grave? 
How stands that dark account ? 

3 Death enters, and there 's no defense ; 
His time there's none can tell; 

He '11 in a moment call thee hence, 
To heaven, or down to hell. 

4 Thy flesh, perhaps thy greatest care, 
Shall into dust consume ; 

But, ah ! destruction stops not there ; 
Sin kills beyond the tomb. 

JOSEPH HiET, 

ODD Boast not thyself of to-morrow. 
Prov. 27 : 1. 

1 Why should we boast of time to come. 
Though but a single day? 

This hour may fix our final doom, 
Though strong, and young, and gay. 

2 The present we should now redeem; 
This only is our own ; 

The past, alas ! is all a dream ; 
The future is unknown. 

3 think what vast concerns depend 
Upon a moment's space. 

When life and all its cares shall end 
In vengeance or in grace. 

4 for that power which melts the heart, 
And lifts the soul on high ! 

Where sin and grief and death depart, 
And pleasures never die. 

II. W1LKS.

db7 The Justifier of the ungodly. 

1 Lovers of pleasure more than God, 
For you he suffered pain ; 

For you the Saviour spilt his blood: 
And shall he bleed in vain? 

2 Sinners, his life for you he paid ; 
Your basest crimes he bore ; 

Your sins were all on Jesus laid, 
That you might sin no more. 

3 To earth the great Redeemer came, 
That you might come to heaven; 

Believe, believe in Jesus' name, 
And all your sin 's forgiven. 

4 Believe in him who died for thee, 
And, sure as he hath died, 

Thy debt is paid, thy soul is free, 
And thou art justified. 

CHABLES -WESLEY. 

000 The hammer of His word. 

1 Come, thou all-victorious Lord, 
Thy power to us make known ; 

Strike with the hammer of thy word, 
And break these hearts of stone. 

2 that we all might now begin 
Our foolishness to mourn : 

And turn at once from every sin, 
And to the Saviour turn ! 

3 Give us ourselves and thee to know 
In this our gracious day ; 

Repentance unto life bestow, 
And take our sins away. 

4 Convince us first of unbelief, 
And freely then release ; 

Fill every soul with sacred grief, 
And then with sacred peace.

o69 Desperate resolution. 

1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast 
A thousand thoughts revolve, 

Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, 
And make this last resolve :— 

2 I '11 go to Jesus, though my sin 
Like mountains round me close ; 

I know his courts, I '11 enter in, 
Whatever may oppose. 

3 Prostrate I '11 lie before his throne, 
And there my guilt confess ; 

I'll tell him, I'm a wretch undone 
Without his sovereign grace. 

4 Perhaps he will admit my plea, 
Perhaps will hear my prayer; 

But, if I perish, I will pray, 
And perish only there. 

5 I can but perish if I go ; 
I am resolved to try ; 

For if I stay away, I know 
I must forever die. 

EDMUND JONES. 

7 O The wanderer recalled. 

1 Return, O wanderer, return, 
And seek thy Father's face ; 

Those new desires which in thee burn 
Were kindled by his grace. 

2 Return, O wanderer, return; 
He hears thy humble sigh : 

He sees thy softened spirit mourn, 
When no one else is nigh. 

3 Return, wanderer, return ; 
Thy Saviour bids thee live : 

Come to his cross, and, grateful, learn 
How freely he '11 forgive. 



4 Return, O wanderer, return, 
And wipe the falling tear : 

Thy Father calls,— no longer mourn ; 
'Tis love invites thee near. 

5 Return, O wanderer, return ; 
Regain thy long-sought rest : 

The Saviour's melting mercies yearn 
To clasp thee to his breast, 

WILLIAM B. COLLYER, ALT. 

o71 No ipea.ee to the wicked. 

1 Sinners, the voice of God regard ; 
'Tis mercy speaks to-day ; 

He calls you by his sacred word 
From sin's destructive way. 

2 Like the rough sea, that cannot rest, 
You live, devoid of peace ; 

A thousand stings within your breast 
Deprive your souls of ease. 

3 Your way is dark, and leads to hell : 
Why will you persevere? 

Can you in endless torments dwell, 
Shut up in black despair? 

4 Why will you in the crooked ways 
Of sin and folly go? 

In pain you travel all your days, 
To reach eternal woe. 

5 But he that turns to God shall live, 
Through his abounding grace : 

His mercy will the guilt forgive 
Of those that seek his face. 

6 Bow to the scepter of his word, 
Renouncing every sin ; 

Submit to him, your sovereign Lord, 
And learn his will divine.

3/2 The. voice that wakes the dead. 

1 Thou Son of God, whose flaming eyes 
Our inmost thoughts perceive, 

Accept the grateful sacrifice 
Which now to thee we give. 

2 We how before thy gracious throne, 
And think ourselves sincere: 

But show us, Lord, is every one 
Thy real worshiper? 

3 Is here a soul that knows thee not, 
Nor feels his need of thee, — 

A stranger to the blood which bought 
His pardon on the tree? 

4 Convince him now of unbelief ; 
His desperate state explain ; 

And fill his heart with sacred grief, 
And penitential pain. 

5 Speak with that voice that wakes the dead, 
And bid the sleeper rise ; 

And bid his guilty conscience dread 
The death that never dies. 

CHARLES -WESLEY. 

3/3 Warnings multiplied. 

1 Beneath our feet, and o'er our head, 
Is equal warning given ; 

Beneath us lie the countless dead, 
Above us is the heaven. 

2 Death rides on every passing breeze, 
And lurks in every flower ; 

Each season has its own disease, 
Its peril every hour. 

3 Our eyes have seen the rosy light 
Of youth's soft cheek decay, 

And fate descend in sudden night 
On manhood's middle day. 



4 Our eyes have seen the steps of age 
Halt feebly to the tomb ; 

And shall earth still our hearts engage, 
And dreams of days to come ? 

5 Turn, mortal, turn ; thy danger know 
Where'er thy foot can tread, 

The earth rings hollow from below, 
And warns thee by her dead. 

6 Turn, mortal, turn ; thy soul apply 
To truths divinely given: 

The dead, who underneath thee lie, 
Shall live for hell or heaven. 



REGINALD HEBER. 



7 4r Waiting to be gracious. 

1 Jestjs, Redeemer of mankind, 
Display thy saving power; 

Thy mercy let the sinner find, 
And know his gracious hour. 

2 Who thee beneath their feet have trod, 
And crucified afresh, 

Touch with thine a II- victorious blood, 
And turn the stone to flesh. 

3 Open their eyes thy crose to see, 
Their ears, to hear thy cries : 

Sinner, thy Saviour weeps for thee ; 
For thee he weeps and dies. 

4 All the day long he meekly stands, 
His rebels to receive ; 

And shows his wounds and spreads his 
hands, 
And bids you turn and live. 

5 Turn, and your sins of deepest dye 
He will with blood efface ; 

E'en now he waits the blood to apply ; 
Be saved, be saved by grace.

THE SINNER- WAKNING AND INVITING. 
IN THE SILENT MIDNIGHT WATCHES. 8,5. Hubert P. Main. 




/O Mercy, death, doom. 

1 In the silent midnight watches, 
List,— thy bosom door ! 

How it knocketh, knocketh, knocketh, 

Knocketh evermore ! 
Say not 'tis thy pulse is beating : 

'Tis thy heart of sin ; 
'Tis thy Saviour knocks, and crieth, 

Rise, and let me in ! 

2 Death comes down with reckless footstep, 
To the hall and hut ; 

Think you death will stand a-knocking 
Where the door is shut? 



Jesus waiteth, waiteth. waiteth; 

But thy door is fast ! 
Grieved, away thy Saviour goeth : 

Death breaks in at last. 

3 Then 'tis thine to stand entreating 

Christ to let thee in ; 
At the gate of heaven beating, 

Wailing for tby sin. 
Nay, alas ! thou foolish virgin, 

Hast thou then forgot? 
Jesus waited long to know thee, 

But he knows thee not.

377 Tfce gi/f o/ faith. 

1 Author of faith, to thee I cry, 

To thee, who wouldst not have me die, 

But fcnow the truth and live: 
Open mine eyes to see thy face ; 
Work in my heart the saving grace; 

The life eternal give. 

2 Shut up in unbelief, I groan, 
And blindly serve a God unknown, 

rill thou the veil remove; 
The gift unspeakable impart, 
And write thy name upon my heart, 

And manifest thy love. 

3 I know the work is onlv thine, 
The gift of faith is all divine ; 

But, if on thee we call, 
Thou wilt that gracious gift bestow, 
And cause our hearts to feel and know 

That thou hast died for all. 

4 Thou bidd'st us knock and enter in, 
Come unto thee, and rest from sin, 

The blessing seek and find : 
Thou bidd'st us ask thy grace, and have; 
Thou canst, thou wouldst^ this moment save 

Both me and all mankind. 



5 Be it according to thy word; 
Now let me find my pardoning Lord ; 

Let what I ask be given : 
The bar of unbelief remove; 
Open the door of faith and love, 

And take me into heaven. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

O/O Pleading the sacrifice of Christ. 
1 O Lamb of God, for sinners slain, 

1 plead with thee, my suit to gain, — 
I plead what thou hast done : 

Didst thou not die the death for me ? 
Jesus, remember Calvary, 
And break my heart of stone. 

2 Take the dear purchase of thy blood, 
My Friend and Advocate with God, 

My Ransom and my Peace, 
Surety, who all my debt hast paid, 
For all my sins atonement made, 

The Lord my Righteousness. 

3 O let thy Spirit shed abroad 
The love, the perfect love of God, 

In this cold heart of mine ! 
O might he now descend, and rest, 
And dwell forever in my breast, 

And make it all divine !

/ 9 Depth of mercy. 

1 Depth of mercy ! can there be 
Mercy still reserved for me? 
Can my God his wrath forbear, — 
Me, the chief of sinners, spare? 

2 I have long withstood his grace ; 
Long provoked him to his face ; 
Would not hearken to his calls ; 
Grieved him by a thousand falls. 

3 Now incline me to repent; 
Let me now my sins lament ; 
Now my foul revolt deplore, 
Weep, believe, and sin no more. 

4 Kindled his relentings are ; 
Me he now delights to spare ; 
Cries, "How shall I give thee up?" 
Lets the lifted thunder drop. 

5 There for me the Saviour stands, 
Shows his wounds and spreads his hands ; 
God is love ! I know, I feel ; 

Jesus weeps, and loves me still. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

380 With Thee is mercy. 

i Sovereign Ruler, Lord of all, 
Prostrate at thy feet I fall ; 
Hear, hear my ardent cry, 
Frown not, lest I faint and die. 

2 Vilest of the sons of men, 
Worst of rebels I have been; 
Oft abused thee to thy face, 
Trampled on thy richest grace. 

3 Justly might thy vengeful dart 
Pierce this bleeding, broken heart ; 



Justly might thy kindled ire 
Send me to eternal fire, 
4 But with thee is mercy found, 
Balm to heal my every wound ; 
Soothe, soothe this troubled breast, 
Give the weary wanderer rest. 

THOMAS RAFFLES. 



[C. P. M. Tune, Auburndale. Page 140.] 
Gal The Man on Calvary. 

1 O Thou who hast our sorrows borne, 
Help us to look on thee and mourn, 

On thee whom we have slain,— 
Have pierced a thousand, thousand times, 
And by reiterated crimes 

Renewed thy sacred pain. 

2 O give us eyes of faith to see 
The Man transfixed on Calvary,— 

To know thee who thou art. 
The one eternal God and true ; 
And let the sight affect, subdue, 

And break my stubborn heart. 

3 Lover of souls ! to rescue mine, 
Reveal the charity divine, 

That suffered in my stead ; 
That made thy soul a sacrifice, 
And quenched in death those flaming eyes, 

And bowed that sacred head. 

4 The veil of unbelief remove, 
And by thy manifested love, 

And by thy sprinkled blood, 
Destroy the love of sin in me, 
And get thyself the victory, 

And bring me back to God.

1 Lamb of God, for sinners slain, 
To thee I humbly pray ; 

Heal me of my grief and pain, 

take my sins away. 
From this bondage, Lord, release, 

No longer let me be oppressed : 
Jesus, Master, seal my peace, 

And take me to thy breast. 

2 Wilt thou cast a sinner out 
Who humbly comes to thee ? 

No, my God, I cannot doubt 

Thy mercy is for me : 
Let me then obtain the grace, 

And be of paradise possessed : 
Jesus, Master, seal my peace, 

And take me to thy breast. 

3 Worldly good I do not want ; 
Be that to others given : 

Only for thy love I pant, 

My all in earth and heaven : 
This the crown I fain would seize, 

The good wherewith I would be blest: 
Jesus, Master, seal my peace, 

And take me to thy breast.

1 Lamb of God, whose dying love 
We now recall to mind, 

Send the answer from above, 

And let us mercy find : 
Think on us who think on thee, 

And every struggling soul release ; 
O remember Calvary, 

And bid us go in peace ! 

2 By thine agonizing pain, 
And bloody sweat, we pray, 

By thy dying love to man, 

Take all our sins away : 
Burst our bonds, and set us free ; 

From all iniquity release ; 
O remember Calvary, 

And bid us go in peace ! 

3 Let thy blood, by faith applied, 
The sinner's pardon seal ; 

Speak us freely justified, 

And all our sickness heal: 
By thy passion on the tree, 

Let all our griefs and troubles cease : 
remember Calvary, 

And bid us go in peace !

Thou art scattering full and free; 

Showers, the thirsty land ref reshing ; 
Let some drops now fall on me,

Sinful though my heart may be ; 

Thou mightst leave me, but the rather 
Let thy mercy light on me, 
Even me. 

3 Pass me not, gracious Saviour, 
Let me live and cling to thee ; 

I am longing for thy favor ; 
Whilst thou 'rt calling, call me, 
Even me.

Thou canst make the blind to see ;

Blood of Christ, so rich, so free,

Saved by grace. 

1 Let the world their virtue boast, 
Their works of righteousness ; 

I, a wretch undone and lost, 
Am freely saved by grace ; 

Other title I disclaim, 
This, only this, is all my plea, 

1 the chief of sinners am, 
But Jesus died for me. 

2 Happy they whose joys abound 
Like Jordan's swelling stream; 



Who their heaven in Christ have found, 

And give the praise to him. 
Meanest follower of the Lamb, 

His steps I at a distance see ; 
I the chief of sinners am, 

But Jesus died for me. 

3 Jesus, thou for me hast died, 

And thou in me wilt live ; 
I shall feel thy death applied ; 

I shall thy life receive : 
Yet, when melted in the flame 

Of love, this shall be all my plea, 
I the chief of sinners am, 

But Jesus die for me. 

CHARLES WESLEY.

OoU Refuge in the blood of the Lamb. 

1 God of my salvation, hear, 
And help me to believe ; 

Simply do I now draw near, 

Thy blessing to receive. 
Full "of guilt, alas ! I am, 

But to thy wounds for refuge flee : 
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, 

Thy blood was shed for me. 

2 Standing now as newly slain, 
To thee I lift mine eye ; 

Balm of all my grief and pain, 

Thy blood is always nigh. 
Now as yesterday the same 

Thou art, and wilt forever be : 
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, 

Thy blood was shed for me. 

3 No good word, or work, or thought, 
Bring I to buy thy grace ; 

Pardon I accept unbought, 

Thy proffer I embrace, 
Coming, as at first I came, 

To take, and not bestow on thee : 
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, 

Thy blood was shed for me.

1 Wherewith, Lord, shall I draw near, 
And bow myself before thy face ? 

How in thy purer eyes appear ? 
What shall I bring to gain thy grace? 

2 Will gifts delight the Lord most high? 
Will multiplied oblations please? 

Thousands of rams his favor buy, 
Or slaughtered hecatombs appease? 



3 Can these avert the wrath of God ? 
Can these wash out my guilty stain ? 

Rivers of oil, and seas of blood, 
Alas ! they all must flow in vain. 

4 Who would himself to thee approve, 
Must take the path thyself hast showed ; 

Justice pursue, and mercy love, 
And humbly walk by faith with God. 

5 But though my life henceforth be thine, 
Present for past can ne'er atone: 

Though I to thee the whole resign, 
I only give thee back thine own. 

6 Guilty I stand before thy face ; 
On me I feel thy wrath abide; 

"Tis just the sentence should take place ; 
'Tis just,— but O, thy Son hath died !

1 Stay, thou insulted Spirit, stay, 
Though I have done thee such despite ; 

Nor cast the sinner quite away, 
Nor take thine everlasting flight. 

2 Though I have steeled my stubborn heart, 
And shaken off my guilty fears ; 

And vexed, and urged thee to depart, 
For many long rebellious years : 

3 Though I have most unfaithful been, 
Of all who e'er thy grace received ; 

Ten thousand times thy goodness seen ; 
Ten thousand times thy goodness grieved: 

4 Yet, 0, the chief of sinners spare, 
In honor of my great High Priest ; 

Nor in thy righteous anger swear 
To exclude me from thy people's rest.

1 Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive ; 
Let a repenting rebel live : 

Are not thy mercies large and free? 
May not a sinner trust in thee ? 

2 My crimes are great, but don't surpass 
The power and glory of thy grace ; 
Great God, thy nature hath no bound, 
So let thy pardoning love be found. 

3 wash my soul from every sin, 
And make tny guilty conscience, clean; 
Here on my heart the burden lies, 
And past offenses pain my eyes. 



4 My lips with shame my sins confess, 
Against thy law, against thy grace ; 
Lord, should thy judgments grow severe, 
I am condemned, but thou art clear. 

5 Should sudden vengeance seize my 

breath, 
I must pronounce thee just, in death ; 
And if my soul were sent to hell, 
Thy righteous law approves it well. 

6 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, 
Whose hope, still hovering round thy word, 
Would light on some sweet promise there, 
Some sure support against despair. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



ot/ ^ The sinner's only hope. 

1 Jesus, the sinner's Friend, to thee, 
Lost and undone, for aid I flee, 
Weary of earth, myself, and sin : 
Open thine arms, and take me in. 

2 Pity and heal my sin-sick soul ; 
'Tis thou alone canst make me whole ; 
Dark, till in me thine image shine, 
And lost, I am, till thou art mine. 

3 At last I own it cannot be 
That I should fit myself for thee : 
Here, then, to thee I all resign; 
Thine is the work, and only thine. 

4 What shall I say thy grace to move? 
Lord, I am sin— but thou art love : 

I give up every plea beside — 
Lord, I am lost— but thou hast died.

If haply I may feel thee near : 

dark! dark! dark! I still must say, 
Amidst the blaze of gospel day. 

3 Thee, only thee, I fain would find, 
And cast the world and flesh behind ; 
Thou, only thou, to me he given, 

Of all thou hast in earth or heaven. 

4 When from the arm of flesh set free, 
Jesus, my soul shall fly to thee : 
Jesus, when I have lost my all,

o9 1) Stubbornness of heart. 

1 O for a glance of heavenly day, 
To take this stubborn heart away, 
And thaw, with beams of love divine, 
This heart, this frozen heart of mine ! 

2 The rocks can rend ; the earth can quake ; 
The seas can roar ; the mountains shake : 
Of feeling, all things show some sign, 
But this unfeeling heart of mine. 

3 To hear the sorrows thou hast felt, 
O Lord, au adamant would melt : 
But I can read each moving line, 
And nothing moves this heart of mine. 

4 Thy judgments, too, which devils fear- 
Amazing thought !— unmoved I hear ; 
Goodness and wrath in vain combine 

To stir this stupid heart of mine. 

5 But power divine can do the deed ; 
And, Lord, that power I greatly need : 
Thy Spirit can from dross refine, 

And melt and change this heart of mine. 

JOSEPH HAKT. 

397 Only by faith. 

1 Lord, I despair myself to heal ; 
I see my sin, but cannot feel ; 

1 cannot, till thy Spirit blow, 
And bid the obedient waters flow. 

2 'Tis thine a heart of flesh to give ; 
Thy gifts I only can receive ; 
Here, then, to thee I all resign ; 

To draw, redeem, and seal, are thine. 



3 With simple faith, on thee I call, 
My Light, my Life, my Lord, my All: 
I wait the moving of the pool ; 

I wait the word that speaks me whole. 

4 Speak, gracious Lord, my sickness cure, 
Make my infected nature pure ; 

Peace, righteousness, and joy impart, 
And pour thyself into my heart. 

CHARLES WESLEY.

1 Jesus, thy far-extended fame 
My drooping soul exults to hear ; 

Thy name, tny all-restoring name, 
Is music in a sinner's ear. 

2 Sinners of old thou didst receive 
With comfortable words, and kind: 

Their sorrows cheer, their wants relieve. 
Heal the diseased, and cure the blind. 

3 And art thou not the Saviour still, 
In every place and age the same? 

Hast thou forgot thy gracious skill, 
Or lost the virtue of thy name ? 

4 Faith in thy changeless name I have : 
The good, the kind Physician, thou 

Art able now our souls to save, 
Art willing to restore them now. 

5 All my disease, my every sin, 
To thee, Jesus, I confess : 

In pardon, Lord, my cure begin, 
And perfect it in holiness.

FIRST PART. 

oyy Restore my peace. 

1 And wilt Thou yet be found, 
And may I still draw near? 

Then listen to the plaintive sound 
Of a poor sinner's prayer. 

2 Jesus, thine aid afford, 

If still the same thou art: 
To thee I look, to thee, my Lord, 
I lift my helpless heart. 

3 Thou seest my troubled breast, 
The smugglings of my will, 

The foes that interrupt my rest, 
The agonies I feel. 

4 my offended Lord, 
Restore my inward peace ; 

I know thou canst ; pronounce the word, 
And bid the tempest cease. 

5 I long to see thy face ; 
Thy Spirit I implore— 

The living water of thy grace, 
That I may thirst no more. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



SECOND PART. 

4rOO Yearning for deliverance. 

1 When shall Thy love constrain, 
And force me to thy breast? 

When shall my soul return again 
To her eternal rest? 

2 Ah ! what avails my strife, 
My wandering to and fro ? 

Thou hast the words of endless life : 
Ah! whither should I go? 



3 Thy condescending grace 
To me did freely move; 

It calls me still to seek thy face, 
And stoops to ask my love. 

4 Lord, at thy feet I fall ; 
I groan to be set free ; 

I fain would now obey the call, 
And give up all for thee. 



4,01 



THIRD PART. 

The surrender. 

1 And can I yet delay 
My little all to give? 

To tear my soul from earth away 
For Jesus to receive? 

2 Nay, but I yield, I yield ; 
I can hold out no more : 

I sink, by dying love compelled, 
And own thee conqueror. 

3 Though late, I all forsake ; 
My friends, my all, resign : 

Gracious Redeemer, take, O take, 
And seal me ever thine. 

4 Come, and possess me whole, 
Nor hence again remove ; 

Settle and fix my wavering soul 
With all thy weight of love. 

5 My one desire be this, 
Thy only love to know; 

To seek and taste no other bliss, 
No other good below. 

6 My life, my portion thou; 
Thou all-sufficient art : 

My hope, my heavenly treasure, now 
Enter, and keep my heart.

To whom shall I go? 

1 Ah ! whither should I go, 
Burdened, and sick, and faint? 

To whom should I my trouble show, 
And pour out my complaint? 

2 My Saviour bids me come ; 
Ah ! why do I delay ? 

He calls the weary sinner home, 
And yet from him I stay. 

3 What is it keeps me back, 
From which I cannot part, 

Which will not let the Saviour take 
Possession of my heart ? 

4 Searcher of hearts, in mine 
Thy trying power display ; 

Into its darkest corners shine, 
And take the veil away. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

403 Out of the depths. 

1 Oct of the depths of woe, 
To thee, Lord, I cry ; 

Darkness surrounds me, but I know 
That thou art ever nigh. 

2 Humbly on thee I wait, 
Confessing all my sin ; 

Lord, I am knocking at the gate ; 
Open, and take me in. 

3 hearken to my voice, 
Give ear to my complaint ; 

Thou bidd'st the mourning soul rejoice, 
Thou comfortest the faint. 

4 Glory to God above, 

The waters soon will cease ! 
For, lo ! the swift-returning dove 
Brings home the sign of peace. 



5 Though storms his face obscure, 
And dangers threaten loud, 

Jehovah's covenant is sure, 
His bow is in the cloud. 



JAMES MONTGOMERY. 



4r04r For a broken heart. 

1 that I could repent, 
With all my idols part, 

And to thy gracious eye present 
A humble, contrite heart ! 

2 A heart with grief oppressed, 
For having grieved my God ; 

A troubled heart, that cannot rest 
Till sprinkled with thy blood. 

3 Jesus, on me bestow 
The penitent desire ; 

With true sincerity of woe 
My aching breast inspire. 

4 With softening pity look, 
And melt my hardness down : 

Strike with thy love's resistless stroke, 
And break this heart of stone. 



CHARLES WESLEY. 



4:0o The Son of God in tears. 

1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep, 
And shall our cheeks be dry ? 

Let floods of penitential grief 
Burst forth from every eye. 

2 The Son of God in tears 
The wondering angels see ! 

Be thou astonished, my soul; 
He shed those tears for thee. 

3 He wept that we might weep ; 
Each sin demands a tear : 

In heaven alone no sin is found, 
And there 's no weeping there.

4:UO Unwearied earnestness. 

1 Father, I stretch my hands to thee ; 
No other help I know: 

If thou withdraw thyself from me, 
Ah! whither shall I go? 

2 What did thine only Son endure, 
Before I drew my breath ! 

What pain, what labor, to secure 
My soul from endless death ! 

3 Jesus, could I this believe, 
I now should feel thy power ; 

And all my wants thou wouldst relieve, 
In this accepted hour. 

4 Author of faith I to thee I lift 
My weary, longing eyes : 

let me now receive that gift ; 
My soul without it dies. 

5 Surely thou canst not let me die ; 
O speak, and I shall live ; 

And here I will unwearied lie, 

Till thou thy Spirit give. 
8 How would my fainting soul rejoice 

Could I but see thy face ! 
Now let me hear thy quickening voice, 

And taste thy pardoning grace. 

CHABLES WESLEY. 

4rO* Earnest desire for pardon. 

1 that I could my Lord receive, 
Who did the w r orld redeem ; 

Who gave his life that I might live 
A life concealed in him ! 

2 that I could the blessing prove, 
My heart's extreme desire ; 

Live hanpy in my Saviour's love, 
And in his arms expire ! 



3 Mercy I ask to seal my peace, 
That, kept by mercy's power, 

I may from every evil cease, 
And never grieve thee more. 

4 Now, if thy gracious will it be, 
E'en now my sins remove, 

And set my soul at liberty 
By thy victorious love. 

5 In answer to a thousand prayers, 
Thou pardoning God, descend ; 

Number me with salvation's heirs, 
My sins and troubles end. 

6 Nothing I ask or want beside, 
Of all in earth or heaven, 

But let me feel thy blood applied, 
And live and die forgiven. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

4r(_)c5 Reposing on Christ. 

1 We sinners, Lord, with earnest heart, 
With sighs and prayers and tears, 

To thee our inmost cares impart, 
Our burdens and our fears. 

2 Thy sovereign grace can give relief, 
Thou Source of peace and light I 

Dispel the gloomy cloud of grief, 
And make our darkness bright. 

3 Around thy Father's throne on higb, 
All heaven thy glory sings ; 

And earth, for which thou cam'st to die, 
Loud with thy praises rings. 

4 Dear Lord, to thee our prayers ascend ; 
Our eyes thy face would see : 

let our weary wanderings end, 
Our spirits rest in thee !

409 I would be Thine. 

1 I would be thine : O take my heart 
And nil it with thy love ; 

Thy sacred image, Lord, impart, 
And seal it from above. 

2 I would be thine ; but while I strive 
To give myself away, 

I feel rebellion still alive, 
And wander while I pray. 

3 I would be thine ; but, Lord, I feel 
Evil still lurks within : 

Do thou thy majesty reveal, 
And banish all my sin. 

4 I would be thine ; I would embrace 
The Saviour, and adore ; 

Inspire with faith, infuse thy grace, 
And now my soul restore. 

ANDREW REED. 



4:10 Sincere contrition. 

1 for that tenderness of heart 
Which bows before the Lord, 

Acknowledging how just thou art, 
And trembling at thy word ! 

for those humble, contrite tears, 
Which from repentance flow ; 

That consciousness of guilt, which fears 
The long-suspended blow ! 

2 Saviour, to me, in pity, give 
The sensible distress ; 

The pledge thou wilt at last receive, 
And bid me die in peace : 



Wilt from the dreadful day remove, 

Before the evil come; 
My spirit hide with saints above, 

My body in the tomb. 

CHARLES WESLEV. 

4:11 The Sun of righteousness. 

1 O Sun of righteousness, arise 
With healing in thy wing ; 

To my diseased, my fainting soul, 
Life and salvation bring. 

2 These clouds of pride and sin dispel, 
By thy all-piercing beam : 

Lighten mine eyes with faith ; my heart 
With holy hope inflame. 

3 My mind, by thy all-quickening power. 
From low desires set free ; 

Unite my scattered thoughts, and fix 
My love entire on thee. 

4 Father, thy long-lost son receive ; 
Saviour, thy purchase own ; 

Blest Comforter, with peace and joy 
Thy new-made creature crown. 

5 Eternal, undivided Lord, 
Co-equal One in Three, 

On thee all faith, all hope be placed; 
All love be paid to thee. 

JOHN WESLEY. 

Doxology.

And shall be evermore!

4rJL^ Timely penitence. 

1 When rising from the bed of death, 
O'erwhelmed with guilt and fear, 

1 view my Maker face to face, 
O how shall I appear? 

2 If yet, while pardon may be found, 
And mercy may be sought. 

My soul with inward horror shrinks, 
And trembles at the thought,— 

3 When thou, Lord, shalt stand disclosed 
In majesty severe, 

And sit in judgment on my soul, 
how shall I appear ? 

4 may my broken, contrite heart, 
Timely my sins lament; 

And early, with repentant tears, 
Eternal woe prevent. 

5 Behold the sorrows of my heart, 
Ere yet it be too late ; 

And hear my Saviour's dying groan, 
To give those sorrows weight. 

3 For never shall my soul despair 
Her pardon to secure, 

Who knows thine only Son hath died 
To make that pardon sure. 



JOSEPH Al 



^Jrlo All things possible to God. 

1 that Thou wouldst the heavens rend, 
In majesty come down, 

Stretch out thine arm omnipotent, 
And seize me for thine own ! 

2 Thou my impetuous spirit guide, 
And curb my headstrong wil 1 ; 



Thou only canst drive back the tide, 
And bid the sun stand still. 

3 What though I cannot break my chain, 
Or e'er throw off ray load? 

The things impossible to men 
Are possible to God. 

4 Thou canst o'ercome this heart of mine, 
Thou wilt victorious prove; 

For everlasting strength is thine, 
And everlasting love. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

•4t J_4t The prodigal's return. 

1 The prodigal, with streaming eyes, 
From folly just awake, 

Reviews his wanderings with surprise; 
His heart begins to break. 

2 "I starve," he cries, "nor can I bear 
The famine in this land, 

While servants of my Father share 
The bounty of his hand. 

3 "With deep repentance I'll return, 
And seek my Father's face ; 

Unworthy to be called a son, 
I '11 ask a servant's place." 

4 Far off the Father saw him move, 
In pensive silence mourn, 

And quickly ran, with arms of love, 
To welcome his return. 

5 Through all the courts the tidings flew. 
And spread the joy around ; 

The angels tuned their harps anew,— 
The long-lost son is found !

4rl5 Bock of ages. 

1 Rock of ages, cleft for me, 
Let me rxide myself in thee ; 
Let the water and the blood, 

From thy wounded side which flowed, 

Be of sin the double cure, 

Save from wrath and make me pure. 

2 Could my tears forever flow, 
Could my zeal no languor know, 
These for sin could not atone ; 
Thou must save, and thou alone : 
In my hand no price I bring ; 
Simply to thy cross I cling. 

3 While I draw this fleeting breath, 
When my eyes shall close in death, 
When I rise to worlds unknown, 
And behold thee on thy throne, 
Rock of ages, cleft for me, 

Let me hide myself in t bee.

Day-star, in my heart appear. 

2 Dark and cheerless is the morn,

Joyless is the day's return, 

Till thy mercy's beams I see; 
Till thou inward life impart, 
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.

By thy human griefs and fears ;

Saviour, look with pitying eye; 
Saviour, help me, or I die. 

2 By the tenderness that wept 
O'er the grave where Lazarus slept ; 
By the bitter tears that flowed 
Over Salem's lost abode, — 
Saviour, look with pitying eye ; 
Saviour, help me, or I* die. 

3 By thy lonely hour of prayer; 
By the fearful conflict there ; 
By thy cross and dying cries ; 
By thy one great sacrifice, — 
Saviour, look with pitying eye ; 
Saviour, help me, or I die. 

4 By thy triumph o'er the grave; 
By thy power the lost to save ; 
By thy high, majestic throne ; 
By the empire all thine own,— 
Saviour, look with pitying eye ; 
Saviour, help me, or I die.

4:lc5 Peace and hope of the righteous. 

1 Lord, how secure and blest are they 
Who feel the joys of pardoned sin ! 

Should storms of wrath shake earth and sea, 
Their minds have heaven and peace within. 

2 The day glides sweetly o'er their heads, 
Made up of innocence and love ; 

And soft and silent as the shades, 
Their nightly minutes gently move. 

3 Quick as their thoughts their joys come on, 
But fly not half so swift away: 

Their souls are ever bright as noon, 
And calm as summer evenings be. 

4 How oft they look to the heavenly hills, 
Where groves of living pleasure grow ; 

And longing hopes and cheerful smiles, 
Sit undisturbed upon their brow I 

5 They scorn to seek earth's golden toys, 
But spend the day, and share the night, 

In numbering o'er the richer joys 
That Heaven prepares for their delight. 

ISAAC WAITS. 

4rly Filial love and longing. 

1 Great God, indulge my humble claim ; 
Be thou my hope, my joy, my rest ; 

The glories that compose thy name 
Stand all engaged to make me blest. 

2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise, 
Thou art my Father and my God ; 

And I am thine by sacred ties, 
Thy son, thy servant bought with blood. 

3 With heart and eyes, and lifted hands, 
For thee I long, to thee I look, 

As travelers in thirsty lands 
Pant for the cooling water-brook. 



4 E'en life itself, without thy love, 
No lasting pleasure can afford; 

Yea, 'twouid a tiresome burden prove, 
If I were banished from thee, Lord. 

5 I '11 lift my hands, I '11 raise my voice, 
While I have breath to pray or praise: 

This work shall make my heart rejoice, 
And All the remnant of my days. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

[L. M. C 1. Tune, Evanston. Page 155.] 
4r^wO The soul's anchorage. 

1 Now I have found the ground wherein 
Sure my soul's anchor may remain ; 

The wounds of Jesus, for my sin 

Before the world's foundation slain ; 
Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, 
When heaven and earth are fled away. 

2 Father, thine everlasting grace 
Our scanty thought surpasses far : 

Thy heart still melts with tenderness ; 

Thine arms of love still open are, 
Beturning sinners to receive, 
That mercy they may taste, and live. 

3 Love, thou bottomless abyss, 
My sins are swallowed up in thee I 

Covered is my unrighteousness, 

Nor spot of guilt remains on me, 
While Jesus' blood, through earth and skies, 
Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries. 

4 By faith I plunge me in this sea ; 
Here is my hope, my joy, my rest ; 

Hither, when hell assails, I flee ; 

I look into my Saviour's breast : 
Away, sad doubt and anxious fear! 
Mercy is all that 's written there.

1 My hope is built on nothing less 
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness ; 

1 dare not trust the sweetest frame, 
But wholly lean on Jesus' name : 
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand ; 
All other ground is sinking sand. 

2 When darkness seems to veil his face, 
I rest on bis unchanging grace ; 

In every high and stormy gale, 
My anchor holds within the veil : 
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand ; 
All other ground is sinking sand. 

3 His oath, his covenant, and blood, 
Support me in the whelming flood : 
When all around my soul gives way, 
He then is all my hope and stay: 
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand ; 
All other ground is sinking sand.

Amazing love ! how can it be 

That thou, ray Lord, shouldst die for me? 

2 'Tis mystery all ! the Immortal dies ! 
Who can explore his strange design? 

In vain the first-born seraph tries 

To sound the depths of love divine ; 
'Tis mercy all ! let earth adore : 
Let angel minds inquire no more. 

3 He left his Father's throne above, — 
So free, so infinite his grace ! — 

Emptied himself of all but love, 

And bled for Adam's helpless race ; 
'Tis mercy all, immense and free, 
For, my God, it found out me ! 

4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay, 

Fast bound in sin and nature's night ; 
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray, 

I woke, the dungeon flamed with light : 
My chains fell off, my heart was free, 
I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 

5 No condemnation now I dread, 
Jesus, with all in him, is mine; 

Alive in him, my living Head, 

And clothed in righteousness divine, 
Bold I approach the eternal throne, 
And claim the crown, through Christ, my

4r^wO Convicted,— pardoned. 

1 In evil long I took delight, 
Unawed by shame or fear, 

Till a new object struck my sight, 
And stopped my wild career. 

2 T saw One hanging on a tree, 
In agonies and blood, 

Who fixed his languid eyes on me, 
As near his cross I stood. 

3 Sure never till my latest breath 
Can I forget that look : 

It seemed to charge me with his death, 
Though not a word he spoke. 

4 My conscience felt and owned the guilt, 
And plunged me in despair; 

I saw my sins his blood had spilt, 
And helped to nail him there. 

5 Alas ! 1 knew not what I did ! 
But now my tears are vain : 

Where shall my trembling soul be hid? 
For I the Lord have slain ! 

6 A second look he gave, which said, 
"I freely all forgive; 

This blood is for thy ransom paid; 
I die that thou mayst live." 

? Thus, while his death my sin displays 

In all its blackest hue, 
Such is the mystery of grace, 

It seals ray pardon too. 

J JOHN XSTTTON, 

4r/o4r The earnest of redemption. 

1 Why should the children of a King 
Go mourning all their days? 



Great Comforter, descend and bring 
The tokens of thy grace. 

2 Dost thou not dwell in all thy saints, 
And seal the heirs of heaven? 

When wilt thou banish my complaints, 
And show my sins forgiven? 

3 Assure my conscience of her part 
In the Redeemer's blood; 

And bear thy witness with my heart, 
That I am born of God. 

4 Thou art the earnest of his love, 
The pledge of joys to come ; 

May thy blest wings, celestial Dove, 
Safely convey me home.

4=25 

1 My God, my God, to thee I cry; 
Thee only would I know ; 

Thy purifying blood apply, 
And wash me white as snow. 

2 Touch me, and make the leper clean ; 
Purge my iniquity: 

Unless thou wash my soul from sin, 
I have no part in thee. 

3 But art thou not already mine? 
Answer, if mine thou art ; 

Whisper within, thou Love divine, 
And cheer my drooping heart. 

4 Behold, for me the Victim bleeds, 
His wounds are open wide , 

For me the blood of sprinkling pleads, 
And speaks me justified.

1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 

" Come unto me and rest ; 
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down 

Thy head upon my breast!" 
I came to Jesus as I was, 

Weary, and worn, and sad ; 

1 found in him a resting-place, 
And he hath made me glad. 

2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 
" Behold, I freely give 

The living water; thirsty one, 
Stoop down, and drink, and live!" 

I came to Jesus, and I drank 
Of that life-giving stream ; 

My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, 
And now I live in him. 

3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 
"I am this dark world's Light; 

Look unto me, thy morn shall rise 
And all thy day be bright ! " 

I looked to Jesus, and I found 
In him my Star, my Sun ; 

And in that light of life I '11 walk, 
Till all my journey 's done.

Amazing grace. 
1 Amazing grace ! how sweet the sound, 
That saved a wretch like me ! 

1 once was lost, but now am found, 
Was blind, but now I see. 

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, 

And grace my fears relieved ; 
How precious did that grace appear 

The hour I first believed ! 

2 Through many dangers, toils, and snares, 
I have already come ; 

'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, 
And grace will lead me home. 

The Lord has promised good to me, 
His word my hope secures; 

He will my shield and portion be 
As long as life endures. 

3 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail. 
And mortal life shall cease, 

I shall possess, within the veil, 

A life of joy and peace. 
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, 

The sun forbear to shine ; 
But God, who called me here below, 

Will be forever mine.

4r28 Reconciliation with God. 

1 Eternal Sun of righteousness, 
Display thy beams divine. 

And cause the glories of thy face 
Upon my heart to shine. 

2 Light in thy light may I see. 
Thy grace and mercy prove; 

Revived, and cheered, and blest by thee, 
The God of pardoning love. 

3 Lift up thy countenance serene, 
And let thy happy child 

Behold, without a cloud between, 
The Godhead reconciled. 

4 That all-comprising peace bestow 
On me, through grace forgiven ; 

The joys of holiness below, 
And then the joys of heaven.

1 Sovereign of all the worlds on high, 
Allow my humble claim; 

Nor while, unworthy, I draw nigh, 
Disdaiu a Father's name. 

2 My Father, God ! that gracious word 
Dispels my guilty fear ; 

Not all the notes by angels heard 
Could so delight my ear. 

3 Come, Holy Ghost, thyself impress 
On my expanding heart ; 

And show that in the Father's grace 
I share a filial part. 

4 Cheered by that witness from on high, 
Unwavering I believe ; 

And, "Abba, Father," humbly cry; 
Nor can the sign deceive.

On whom my help is laid : 

Oppressed by sins, I lift mine eye, 
And see the shadows fade. 

2 Believing on my Lord, I And 
A sure and present aid ; 

On thee alone my constant mind 
Be every moment stayed. 



3 Whate'er in me seems wise, or good, 
Or strong, I here disclaim ; 

I wash my garments in the blood 
Of the atoning Lamb. 

4 Jesus, my strength, my life, my rest, 
On thee will I depend. 

Till summoned to the marriage-feast, 
When faith in sight shall end.

4:31 The well of life. 

1 Fountain of life, to all below 
Let thy salvation roll ; 

Water, replenish, and o'erflow 
Every believing soul. 

2 Into that happy number, Lord, 
Us weary sinners take ; 

Jesus, fulfill thy gracious word, 
For thine own mercy's sake. 

3 Turn back our nature's rapid tide, 
And we shall flow to thee, 

While down the stream of time we glide 
To our eternity. 

4 The well of life to us thou art, 
Of joy the swelling flood ; 

Wafted by thee, with willing heart, 
We swift return to God. 

5 We soon shall reach the boundless sea ; 
Into thy fullness fall; 

Be lost and swallowed up in thee, 
Our God, our all in all. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

4r O f£ Victorious faith. 

1 Father of Jesus Christ, my Lord, 
My Saviour, and my Head, 

1 trust in thee, whose powerful word 
Hath raised him from the dead. 

2 In hope, against all human hope, 
Self-desperate, I believe; 

Thy quickening word shall raise me up, 
Thou wilt thy Spirit give. 

3 Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, 
And looks to that alone ; 



159 



Laughs at impossibilities, 
And cries, "It shall be done!" 

4 To thee the glory of thy power 
And faithfulness I give; 

I shall in Christ, at that glad hour, 
And Christ in me shall live. 

5 Obedient faith, that waits on thee, 
Thou never wilt reprove ; 

But thou wilt form thy Son in me, 
And perfect me in love.

My loving God to praise?

And depth of sovereign grace? 

2 Thy sovereign grace to all extends, 
Immense and unconflned ; 

From age to age it never ends ; 
It reaches all mankind. 

3 Throughout the world its breadth is 

known, 
Wide as infinity : 
So wide it never passed by one, 
Or it had passed by me. 

4 My trespass was grown up to heaven ,° 
But, far above the skies, 

Through Christ abundantly forgiven, 
I see thy mercies rise. 

5 The depth of all-redeeming love, 
W T hat angel tongue can tell? 

O may I to the utmost prove 
The gift unspeakable 1

4ro4: JVo wore a wandering sheep. 

1 I was a wandering sheep, 

I did not love the fold, 
I did not love my Shepherd's voice, 

I would not be controlled ; 
I was a wayward child, 

I did not love my home, 

1 did not love my Father's voice, 
I loved afar to roam. 

2 The Shepherd sought his sheep, 
The Father sought his child ; 

He followed me o'er vale and hill, 
O'er deserts waste and wild : 

He found me nigh to death, 
Famished, and faint, and lone ; 

He bound me with the bands of love, 
He saved the wandering one. 

3 Jesus my Shepherd is ; 
'Twas he that loved my soul, 

'Twas he that washed me in his blood, 
'Twas he that made me whole : 

'Twas he that sought the lost, 
That found the wandering sheep ; 

'Twas he that brought me to the fold, 
'Tis he that still doth keep. 

4 No more a wandering sheep, 
I love to be controlled, 

I love my tender Shepherd's voice, 
I love the peaceful fold : 



No more a wayward child, 

I seek no more to roam ; 
I love my heavenly Father's voice, 

I love, I love his home !

Reveal the things of God ; 

And make to us the Godhead known. 
And witness with the" blood : 

'Tis thine the blood to apply, 
And give us eyes to see, 

That he who did for sinners die, 
Hath surely died for me. 

2 No man can truly say 
That Jesus is the Lord, 

Unless thou take the veil away, 
And breathe the living word : 

Then, only then, we feel 
Our interest in his blood ; 

And cry, with joy unspeakable, 
"•Thou art my Lord, my God!" 

3 O that the world might know 
The all-atoning Lamb ! 

Spirit of faith, descend and show 

The virtue of his name : 
The grace which all may find, 

The saving power, impart; 
And testify to all mankind, 

And speak in every heart.

I dare to boast of this, 

That God, the highest and the best, 
My Friend and Father is. 

2 Naught have I of my own, 
Naught in the lif e I lead ; 

What Christ hath given, that alone 
I dare in faith to plead. 

3 I rest upon the ground 
Of Jesus and his blood; 

It is through him that I have found 
My soul's eternal good. 



4 At cost of all I have, 
At cost of life and limb, 

I cling to God who yet shall save ; 
I will not turn from him. 

5 His Spirit in me dwells, 
O'er all my mind he reigns ; 

My care and sadness he dispels, 
And soothes away my pains. 

6 He prospers day by day 
His work within my heart, 

Till I have strength and faith to say, 
"Thou, God, my Father art!"

And feel his blood applied.

1 Arise, my soul, arise ; 
Shake off "thy guilty fears; 

The bleeding Sacrifice 
In my behalf appears: 
Before the throne my Surety stands, 
My name is written on his hands. 

2 He ever lives above, 
For me to intercede ; 

His all-redeeming love, 
His precious blood to plead ; 
His blood atoned for all our race, 
And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 

3 Five bleeding wounds he bears, 
Received on Calvary ; 

They pour effectual prayers, 
They strongly plead for me : 
"Forgive him, O forgive," they cry, 
"Nor let that ransomed sinner die." 

4 The Father hears him pray, 
His dear anointed One : 

He cannot turn away 
The presence of his Son : 
His Spirit answers to the blood, 
And tells me I am born of God. 

5 My God is reconciled ; 

His pardoning voice I hear: 
He owns me for his child; 

I can no longer fear : 
With confidence I now draw nigh, 
And, "Father, Abba, Father," cry.

Whose love hath gently led me on

Mine inmost soul expose to view, 
And tell me if I ever knew 

Thy justifying grace. 

2 If I have only known thy fear, 
And followed, with a heart sincere. 

Thy drawings from above ; 
Now, now the further grace bestow, 
And let my sprinkled conscience know 

Thy sweet forgiving love. 

3 Short of thy love I would not stop, 
A stranger to the gospel hope, 

The sense of sin forgiven ; 
I would not. Lord, my soul deceive, 
Without the inward witness live, 

That antepast of heaven. 

4 If now the witness were in me, 
Would he not testify of thee, 

In Jesus reconciled? 
And should I not with faith draw nigh., 
And boldly, " Abba, Father," cry, 

And know myself thy child? 

5 Father, in me reveal thy Son, 
And to my inmost soul make known 

How merciful thou art ; 
The secret of thy love reveal, 
And by thy hallowing Spirit dwell 

Forever in my heart.

And have laid up their treasure above I 
Tongue can never express 
The sweet comfort and peace 

Of a soul in its earliest love. 

2 That sweet comfort was mine, 
When the favor divine 

I received through the blood of the Lamb ; 

When mv heart first believed, 

What a joy I received, 
What a heaven in Jesus's name ! 

3 'Twas a heaven below 
My Redeemer to know, 

And the angels could do nothing more, 

Than to fall at his feet, 

And the story repeat, 
And the Lover of sinners adore. 

4 Jesus all the day long 
Was my joy and my song : 

O that all his salvation might see! 

"He hath loved me," I cried, 

" He hath suffered and died, 
To redeem even rebels like me."

Which I felt in the life-giving blood I

1 Oft I in my heart have said,— 
Who shall ascend on high, 

Mount to Christ, my glorious Head, 
And bring him from the sky? 

Borne on contemplationis wing, 
Surely I shall find him there, 

Where the angels praise their King, 
And gain the Morning Star. 

2 Oft I in my heart have said,— 
Who to the deep shall stoop, 

Sink with Christ among the dead, 
From thence to bring him up? 

Could I but my heart prepare, 
By unfeigned humility, 

Christ would quickly enter there. 
And ever dwell in me. 

3 But the righteousness of faith 
Hath taught me better things : 

"Inward turn thine eyes," it saith, 
While Christ to me it brings : 

"Christ is ready to impart 
Life to all, for life who sigh : 

In thy mouth and in thy heart 
The word is ever nigh."

4r4r4r The new joy 

1 Trembling before thine awful throne. 

Lord, in dust my sins I own ; 
Justice and mercy for my life 
Contend ; smile, and heal the strife. 

2 The Saviour smiles ; upon my soul 
New tides of hope tumultuous roll; 
His voice proclaims my pardon found, 
Seraphic transport wings the sound. 

3 Earth has a joy unknown to heaven, 
The newborn peace of sins forgiven ; 
Tears of such pure and deep delight, 
Ye angels, never dimmed your sight. 

4 Bright heralds of the eternal Will, 
Abroad his errands ye fulfill ; 

Or, throned in floods of beamy day, 
Symphonious in his presence play. 

5 Loud is the song, the heavenly plain 
Is shaken with the choral strain ; 

And dying echoes, floating far, 
Draw music from each chiming star. 

6 But I amid your choirs shall shine, 
And all your knowledge shall be mine : 
Ye on your harps must lean to hoar 

A secret chord that mine will bear. 

AUGUSTUS L. HILLHOUSE. 

4t4:0 The realizing light of faith. 

1 Author of faith, eternal Word, 
Whose Spirit breathes the active flame, 

Faith, like its finisher and Lord, 
To-day as yesterday the same ; 

2 To thee our humble hearts aspire, 
And ask the gift unspeakable ; 

Increase in us the kindled fire, 
In us the work of faith fulfill. 



165 



3 By faith we know thee strong to save ; 
Save us, a present Saviour thou: 

Whate'er we hope, by faith we have; 
Future and past subsisting now. 

4 To him that in thy name believes, 
Eternal life with thee is given ; 

Into himself he all receives, 
Pardon, and holiness, and heaven. 

5 The things unknown to feeble sense, 
Unseen by reason's glimmering ray, 

With strong, commanding evidence, 
Their heavenly origin display. 

6 Faith lends its realizing light ; 

The clouds disperse, the shadows fly; 
The Invisible appears in sight, 
And God is seen by mortal eye. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

4:4rv) Salvation by grace. 

1 We have no outward righteousness, 
No merits or good works to plead ; 

We only can be saved by grace ; 
Thy grace, Lord, is free indeed. 

2 Save us by grace, through faith alone, 
A faith thou must thyself impart; 

A faith that would by works be shown, 
A faith that purifies the heart : 

3 A faith that doth the mountains move, 
A faith that shows our sins forgiven, 

A faith that sweetly works by love, 
And ascertains our claim to heaven. 

4 This is the faith we humbly seek, 
The faith in thy all-cleansing blood. 

That blood which doth for sinners speak ; 
O let it speak us up to God !

2 Still let thy wisdom be my guide, 
Nor take thy flight from me away ; 

Still with me let thy grace abide, 
That I from thee may never stray : 

Let thy word richly in me dwell. 
Thy peace and love my portion be ; 

My joy to endure and do thy will, 
Till perfect I am found in thee. 

3 Arm me with thy whole armor, Lord, 
Support my weakness with thy might ; 

Gird on my thigh thy conquering sword, 
And shield me in the threatening fight ; 

From faith to faith, from grace to grace, 
So in thy strength shall I go on, 

Till heaven and earth flee from thy face, 
And glory end what grace begun.

4r4ty Forgiving love. 

1 My soul, with humble fervor raise 
To God the voice of grateful praise, 
And all my ransomed powers combine, 
To bless his attributes divine. 

2 Deep on my heart let memory trace 
His acts of mercy and of grace, 
Who, with a Father's tender care, 
Saved me when sinking in despair; 

3 Gave my repentant soul to prove 
The joy of his forgiving love ; 
Poured balm into my bleeding breast, 
And led my weary feet to rest. 

JOHN H. LIVINGSTONE. 



4r4r7' O happy day ! 

1 O happy day that fixed my choice 
On thee, my Saviour and my God ! 

Well may this glowing heart rejoice, 
And tell its raptures all abroad. 

2 happy bond, that seals my vows 
To him who merits all my love ! 

Let cheerful anthems fill his house, 
While to that sacred shrine I move. 

3 'Tis done, the great transaction 's done ; 
I am my Lord's, and he is mine; 

He drew me, and I followed on, 
Charmed to confess the voice divine. 

4 Now rest, my long-divided heart ; 
Fixed on this blissful center, rest; 

Nor ever from thy Lord depart, 
With him of every good possessed. 

5 High Heaven, that heard the solemn vow, 
That vow renewed shall daily hear, 

Till in life's latest hour I bow, 
And bless in death a bond so dear.

Salvation by faith.

1 Into thy gracious hands I fail, 
And with the arms of faith embrace; 

King of glory, hear my call ; 

O raise me, heal me by thy grace. 
Now righteous through thy grace I am ; 
No condemnation now I dread; 

1 taste salvation in thy name, 
Alive in thee, my living Head.

4rOO The highway of holiness. 

1 Jesus, my all, to heaven is gone, 
He whom I fix my hopes upon ; 
His track I see, and I '11 pursue 
The narrow way, till him I view. 

2 The way the holy prophets went, 
The road that lead's from banishment, 
The King's highway of holiness, 

I '11 go, for all his paths are peace. 

3 This is the way I long have sought, 
And mourned because I found it not ; 
My grief a burden long has been, 
Because I was not saved from sin. 

4 The more I strove against its power, 
I felt its weight and guilt the more ; 
Till late I heard my Saviour say, 
"Come hither, soul, I am the way." 

5 Lol glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb, 
Shalt take me to thee, as I am ; 
Nothing but sin Lave I to give; 
Nothing but love shall I receive. 

6 Then will I tell to sinners round, 
What a dear Saviour I have found ; 
I '11 point to thy redeeming blood, 
And say, "Behold the way to God." 

JOHN CENNICK. 

'iOl His sovereign grace. 

1 Glory to God, whose sovereign grace 
Hath animated senseless stones, 

Called us to stand before his face, 
And raised us into Abrah'm's sons. 

2 The people that in darkness lay, 
In sin and error's deadly shade, 



1G7 



Have seen a glorious gospel-day 
In Jesus' lovely face displayed. 

3 Thou only, Lord, the work hast done, 
And bared thine arm in all our sight ; 

Hast made the reprobates thine own, 
And claimed the outcasts as thy right. 

4 Thy single arm, almighty Lord, 
To us the great salvation brought ; 

Thy Word, thy all-creating Word, 
That spake at first the world from naught. 

5 For this the saints lift up their voice, 
And ceaseless praise to thee is given ; 

For this the hosts above rejoice, 
And praise thee in the highest heaven. 

CHAKLES WESLEY. 

4fcO^ The Lord our righteousness. 

1 Let not the wise their wisdom boast, 
The mighty glory in their might, 

The rich in flattering riches trust, 
Which take their everlasting flight. 

2 The rush of numerous years bears down 
The most gigantic strength of man ; 

And where is all his wisdom gone, 
When, dust, he turns to dust again ? 

3 One only gift can justify 

The boasting soul that knows his God; 
When Jesus doth his blood apply, 
I glory in his sprinkled blood." 

4 The Lord my Righteousness I praise, 
I triumph in the love divine ; 

The wisdom, wealth, and strength of grace, 
In Christ to endless ages mine.

4rOO His plenteous grace. 

1 what shall I do my Saviour to praise, 
So faithful and true, so plenteous in grace, 
So strong to deliver, so good to redeem 
The weakest believer that hangs upon him ! 

2 How happy the man whose heart is set free, 
The. people that can be joyful in thee! 
Their joy is to walk in the light of thy face, 
And still they are talking of Jesus's grace : 

3 For thou art their boast, their glory, and 

power, 
And I also trust to see the glad hour, 
My soul's new creation, a life from the dead, 
The day of salvation that lifts up my head. 



4 For Jesus, my Lord, is now my defense ; 
I trust in his word ; none plucks me from 

thence ; 
Since I have found favor, he all things 

will do; 
My King and my Saviour shall make me 

anew. 

5 Yes, Lord, I shall see the bliss of thine 

own; 

Thy secret to me shall soon be made 
known ; 

For sorrow and sadness I joy shall re- 
ceive, 

And share in the gladness of all that be- 
lieve.

4r55 Tears of joy. 

1 Lord, and is thine anger gone, 
And art thou pacified? 

After all that I have done, 
Dost thou no longer chide? 

Let thy love my heart constrain, 
And all my restless passions sway : 

Keep me, lest I turn again 
Out of the narrow way. 

2 See my utter helplessness, 
And leave me not alone ; 

preserve in perfect peace, 
And seal me for thine own : 

More and more thyself reveal, 
Thy presence let me always find ; 

Comfort, and confirm, and heal 
My feeble, sin-sick mind. 

3 As the apple of thine eye, 
Thy weakest servant keep ; 

Help me at thy feet to lie, 

And there forever weep : 
Tears of joy mine eyes o'erflow, 

That I have any hope of heaven ; 
Much of love I ought to know, 

For I have much forgiven. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

45b Nothing but Christ cructfled. 

1 Vain, delusive world, adieu, 
With all of creature good! 

Only Jesus I pursue, 

Who bought me with his blood: 
All thy pleasures I forego ; 

I trample on thy wealth and pride ; 



169 



Only Jesus will I know, 
And Jesus crucified. 

2 Other knowledge I disdain ; 
'Tis all but vanity: 

Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain, 

He tasted death for me. 
Me to save from endless woe 

The sin-atoning Victim died : 
Only Jesus will I know, 

And Jesus crucified. 

3 Here will I set up my rest; 
My fluctuating heart 

From the haven of his breast 

Shall never more depart : 
Whither should a sinner go ? 

His wounds for me stand open wide ; 
Only Jesus will I know, 

And Jesus crucified. 

4 Him to know is life and peace, 
And pleasure without end ; 

This is all my happiness, 

On Jesus to depend ; 
Daily in his grace to grow, 

And ever in his faith abide ; 
Only Jesus will I know, 

And Jesus crucified. 

5 O that I could all invite, 
This saving truth to prove ; 

Show the length, the breadth, the height, 

And depth of Jesus' love ! 
Fain I would to sinners show 

The blood by faith alone applied ; 
Only Jesus will I know, 

And Jesus crucified.

■4rO / Renouncing all for Christ. 

1 Co.\fK, Saviour, Jesus, from above, 
Assist me with thy heavenly grace : 

Empty my heart of earthly love, 
And for thyself prepare the place. 

2 O let thy sacred presence All, 
And set my longing spirit free; 

Which pants to have no other will, 
But night and day to feast on thee. 

3 While in this region here below, 
No other good will I pursue: 

I'll bid this world of noise and show, 
With all its glittering snares, adieu. 

4 That path with humble speed I'll seek, 
In which my Saviour's footsteps shine; 

Nor will I hear, nor will I speak, 
Uf any other love but thine. 

5 Henceforth may no profane delight 
Divide this consecrated soul ; 

Fossess it thou, who hast the right, 
As Lord and Master of the whole. 

6 Nothing on earth do I desire, 

But thy pure love within my breast; 
This, only this, will I require, 
And freely give up all the rest.

Can sinful dust and ashes give? 

1 only live my sin to mourn : 
To love my God I only live. 

2 To thee, benign and saving Power, 
I consecrate my lengthened days; 



While, marked with blessings, every hour 
Shall speak thy co-extended praise. 

3 Be all my added life employed 
Thine image in my soul to see: 

Fill with thyself the mighty void ; 
Enlarge my heart to compass thee. 

4 The blessing of thy love bestow ; 
For this my cries shall never fail ; 

Wrestling, I will not let thee go, — 
I will not, till my suit prevail. 

5 Come, then, my Hope, my Life, my 

Lord, 
And fix in me thy lasting home ; 
Be mindful of thy gracious word, — 
Thou, with thy promised Father, come.

The hearts of all men in thy hand, 
Our wayward, erring hearts incline 
To have no other will but thine. 

2 Our wishes, our desires, control ; 
Mold every purpose of the soul ; 
O'er all may we victorious prove 
That stands between us and thy love. 

3 Thrice blest will all our blessings be, 
When we can look through them to thee : 
When each glad heart its tribute pays 

Of love, and gratitude, and praise. 

4 And while we to thy glory live, 
May we to thee all glory give, 
Until the final summons come, 
That calls thy willing servants home.

4tD0 ?7ie vow sealed at the cross. 

1 Lord, I am thine, entirely thine, 
Purchased and saved by blood divine ; 
With full consent thine I would be, 
And own thy sovereign right in me. 

2 Grant one poor sinner more a place 
Among the children of thy grace ; 

A wretched sinner, lost to God, 
But ransomed by Immanuel's blood. 

3 Thine would I live, thine would I die, 
Be thine through all eternity ; 

The vow is past beyond repeal, 
And now I set the solemn seal. 

4 Here, at that cross where flows the blood 
That bought my guilty soul for God, 
Thee, my new Master, now I call, 

And consecrate to thee my all. 

5 Do thou assist a feeble worm 
The great engagement to perform ; 
Thy grace can full assistance lend, 
And on that grace I dare depend. 

SAMUEL DAVIKS. 

4rOX Thirsting for perfect love. 

1 I thtrst, thou wounded Lamb of God, 
To wash me in thy cleansing blood ; 

To dwell within thy wounds ; then pain 
Is sweet, and life or death is gain. 

2 Take my poor heart, and let it be 
Forever closed to all but thee : 

Seal thou my breast, and let me wear 
That pledge of love forever there.

171 



3 How blest are they who still abide 
Close sheltered in thy bleeding side ! 
Who thence their life and strength derive, 
And by thee move, and in thee live. 

4 What are our works but sin and death, 
Till thou thy quickening Spirit breathe? 
Thou giv'st the power thy grace to move ; 
O wondrous grace ! boundless love ! 

5 How can it be, thou heavenly King, 
That thou shouldst us to glory bring? 
Make slaves the partners of thy throne, 
Decked with a never-fading crown? 

6 Hence our hearts melt, our eyes o'erflow, 
Our words are lost, nor will we know, 
Nor will we think of aught beside, 

"My Lord, my Love is crucified." 



4rO^ The Lord is my portion.— Lam. 3 : 24. 

1 Love, thy sovereign aid impart, 
And guard the gift thyself hast given : 

My portion thou, my treasure art, 
My life, and happiness, and heaven. 

2 Would aught on earth my wishes share ? 
Though dear as life the idol be, 

The idol from my breast I 'd tear, 
Resolved to seek my all in thee. 

3 Whate'er I fondly counted mine, 
To thee, my Lord, I here restore ; 

Gladly I all for thee resign ; 
Give me thyself, I ask ho more.

4fc / 4: -A living sacrifice. 

1 God, what offering shall I give 

To thee, the Lord of earth and skies? 
My spirit, soul, and flesh receive, 

A holy, living sacrifice : 
Small as it is, 'tis all my store ; 
More shouldst thou have, if I had more. 

2 Now then, my God, thou hast my soul : 
No longer mine, but thine I am : 

Guard thou thine own, possess it whole ; 
Cheer it with hope, with love inflame. 
Thou hast my spirit ; there display 
Thy glory to the perfect day. 

3 Thou hast my flesh, thy hallowed shrine, 
Devoted solely to thy will : 

Here let thy light forever shine : 
This house still let thy presence fill : 

Source of life ! live, dwell, and move 
In me, till all my life be love. 

JOACHIM LANGfi. TK. BY J. WESLEY. 

4r / O The single eye. 

1 Behold the servant of the Lord! 
I wait thy guiding hand to feel ; 

To hear and keep thy every word, 

To prove and do thy perfect will : 
Joyful from my own works to cease, 
Glad to fulfill all righteousness. 

2 My every weak, though good design, 
O'errule or change, as seems thee meet ; 

Jesus, let all my work be thine ! 

Thy work, Lord, is all complete, 
Vnd pleasing in thy Father's sight ; 
fhou only hast done all things right. 



3 Here, then, to thee thine own I leave ; 

Mold as thou wilt thy passive clay ; 
But let me all thy stamp receive, 

But let me all thy words obey; 
Serve with a single heart and eye, 
And to thy glory live and die. 

CHAELES WESLEY. 

4r / O The prize of our high calling. 

1 Jesus, thy boundless love to me 

No thought can reach, no tongue de- 
clare ; 
knit my thankful heart to thee, 

And reign without a rival there : 
Thine wholly, thine alone, I am ; 
Be thou alone my constant flame. 

2 grant that nothing in my soul 
May dwell, but thy pure love alone : 

O may thy love possess me whole, 

My joy, my treasure, and my crown : 
Strange flames far from my heart remove ; 
My every act, word, thought, be love. 

3 Unwearied may I this pursue ; 
Dauntless to the high prize aspire; 

Hourly within my soul renew 

This holy flame, this heavenly Are: 
And day and night, be all my care 
To guard the sacred treasure there. 

4 In suffering be thy love my peace; 
In weakness be thy love my power; 

And when the storms of life shall cease, 

Jesus, in that important hour, 
In death as life be thou my guide, 
And save me, who for me hast died.

4r / / Christ in you, the hope of glory. 
1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height. 
Whose depth unf athomed, no man knows ! 

1 see from far thy beauteous light, 
Inly I sigh for thy repose : 

My heart is pained, nor can it be 
At rest, till it finds rest in thee. 

2 Is there a thing beneath the sun, 

That strives with thee my heart to share ? 
Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone, 

The Lord of every motion there : 
Then shall my heart from earth be free, 
When it hath found repose in thee. 

3 hide this self from me, that I 

No more, but Christ in me, may live ; 
My vile affections crucify, 

Nor let one darling lust survive ! 
In all things nothing may I see, 
Nothing desire or seek, but thee. 

4 Love, thy sovereign aid impart, 

To save me from low-thoughted care ; 
Chase this self-will through all my heart, 

Through all its latent mazes there ; 
Make me thy duteous child, that I 
Ceaseless may, "Abba, Father," cry. 

5 Each moment draw from earth away 
My heart, that lowly waits thy call ; 

Speak to mv inmost soul, and say, 

"I am thy Love, thy God, thy All! " 
To feel thy power, to hear thy voice, 
To taste thy love, be all my choice. 

GEEHABD TERSTEEGEN. TE. BY J. WESLEY. 

4r/0 Pressing toicard the mark. 

1 I thank thee, uncreated Sun, 
That thy bright beams on me have shined ; 



177 



I thank thee, who hast overthrown 
My foes, and heaJed my wounded mind ; 

1 thank thee, whose enlivening voice 
Bids my freed heart in thee rejoice. 

2 Uphold me in the doubtful race, 
Nor suffer me again to stray ; 

Strengthen my feet, with steady pace 

Still to press forward in thy way ; 
My soul and flesh, Lord of might, 
Fill, satiate, .with thy heavenly light. 

3 Give to mine eyes refreshing tears ; 
Give to my heart chaste, hallowed fires ; 

Give to my soul, with filial fears, 

The love that all heaven's host inspires; 
That all my powers, with all their might, 
In thy sole glory may unite. 

4 Thee will I love, my joy, my crown; 
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God ; 

Thee will I love, beneath thy frown 

Or smile, thy scepter or thy rod. 
What though my flesh and heart decay? 
Thee shall I love in endless day ! 

JOHAXX A. SCHEFFLEK. TR. BY J. WESLEY. 



4: / c) His blood clean seth from all sin. 

1 Prisoners of hope, lift up your heads, 
The day of liberty draws near ! 

Jesus, who on the serpent treads, 

Shall soon in your behalf appear : 
The Lord will to his temple come ; 
Prepare your hearts to make him room. 

2 Ye all shall And, whom in his word 
Himself hath caused to put your trust, 

The Father of our dying Lord 
Is ever to his promise just ; 
Faithful, if we our sins confess, 
To cleanse from all unrighteousness. 

3 ye of fearful hearts, be strong ! 
Your downcast eyes and hands lift upl 

Ye shall not be forgotten long ; 

Hope to the end, in Jesus hope! 
Tell him ye wait his grace to prove : 
And cannot fail, if God is love.

1 Father of everlasting grace, 

Thy goodness and thy truth we praise, 

Thy goodness and thy truth we prove; 
Thou hast, in honor of thy Son, 
The eift unspeakable sent down,— 
Spirit of life, and power, and love. 

2 Send us the Spirit of thy Son, 

To make the depths of Godhead known, 
To make us share the life divine : 

Send him the sprinkled blood to apply; 

Send him our souls to sanctify, 
And show and seal us ever thine. 

3 So shall we pray, and never cease ; 
So shall we thankfully confess 

Thy wisdom, truth, and power, and love : 
With joy unspeakable adore. 
And bless and praise thee evermore, 

And serve thee as thy hosts above : 

4 Till, added to that heavenly choir, 
We raise our songs of triumph higher, 

And praise thee in a bolder strain ; 
Outsoar the first-born seraph's flight, 
Anl sing, with all the saints in light, 

Thy everlasting love to man.

•4:81 Crucified vnth Christ. 

1 Come, Holy Ghost, all-quickening Are, 
My consecrated heart inspire, 

Sprinkled with the atoning blood : 
Still to my soul thyself reveal : 
Thy mighty working may I feel, 

And know that I am one with God. 

2 Humble, and teachable, and mild, 
O may I, as a little child, 

My lowly Master's steps pursue ! 
Be anger to my soul unknown ; 
Hate, envy, jealousy, be gone ; 

In love create thou all things new. 

3 Let earth no more my heart divide; 
With Christ may I be crucified ; 

To thee with my whole heart aspire : 
Dead to the world and all its toys, 
Its idle pomp, and fading joys, 

Be thou alone my one desire. 

4 My will be swallowed up in thee ; 
Light in thy light still may I see, 

Beholding thee with open face; 
Called the full power of faith to prove, 
Let all my hallowed heart be love, 

And all my spotless life be praise.

That I no more may do, 

Thy creature, Lord, again create, 
And all my soul renew : 

2 My soul shall then, like thine, 
Ahhor the thing unclean, 

And, sanctified by love divine, 
Forever cease from sin. 

3 That blessed law of thine, 
Jesus, to me impart ; 

The Spirit's law of life divine, 
O write it on my heart! 

4 Implant it deep within, 
Whence it may ne'er remove, 

The law of liberty from sin, 
The perfect law of love. 

5 Thy nature be my law, 
Thy spotless sanctity ; 

And sweetly every moment draw 
My happy soul to thee. 

6 Soul of my soul, remain ! 
Who didst for all fulfill, 

In me, Lord, fulfill again 
Thy heavenly Father's will.

Out of thy hands my cause ; 
But rest in thy redeeming love, 
And haug upon thy cross. 

5 make me all like thee, 
Before I hence remove ; 

Settle, confirm, and 'stablish me, 
And build me up in love. 

6 Let me thy witness live, 
When sin is all destroyed ; 

And then my spotless soul receive, 
And take me home to God.

And let Die in thy goodness trust, 
And to thy glory live. 

3 Whate'er I say or do, 
Thy glory be my aim ; 

My offerings all be offered through 
The ever-blessed name.

Hourly some new gift to bring;

Take away my inbred sin ; 

Every stumbling-block remove; 
Cast it out by perfect love. 

3 Nothing less will I require ; 
Nothing more can I desire : 



None but Christ to me be given ; 
None but Christ in earth or heaven.

Let me into nothing fall; 
Let my Lord be all in all !

Restless breathings, earnest moans, 
Deep, unutterable groans, 
Agonies of strong desire, 

Love's suppressed, unconscious Are ; 

2 Turn again to God. thy rest, 
Jesus hath pronounced thee blest: 
Humbly to thy Jesus turn, 
Comforter of all that mourn : 
Happy mourner, hear, and see, 
Claim the promise made to thee. 

3 Gently will he lead the weak, 
Bruise'd reeds he ne'er will break; 
Touched with sympathizing care, 
Thee he in his arms shall bear, 
Bless with late but lasting peace, 
1111 with all his righteousness. 

4 Lift to him thy weeping eye, 
Heaven behind the cloud descry : 
H with Christ thou suffer here, 
When his glory shall appear, 
Christ his suffering son shall own ; 
Thine the cross, and thine the crown.

4r88 Ineffable love. 

1 Jesus, full of love divine, 

1 am thine and thou art mine ; 
Let me live and die to prove 
Thine unutterable love. 

More and more of love I claim, 
Glowing still with quenchless flame ; 
All my heart to thee aspires, 
Yearns with infinite desires. 

2 Every thought, design, and word, 
Burns with love to thee, my Lord; 
Body, soul, and spirit joined, 

All in love to thee combined. 
Ever since I saw thy face, 
Proved thy plenitude of grace, 
Chose thee as the better part- 
Love has filled and fired my heart. 

3 Jesus, Saviour, thou art mine ; 
Jesus, all I have is thine ; 
Never shall the altar-fire, 
Kindled on my heart, expire. 
Love my darkness shall illume, 
Love shall all my sins consume : 
Sweetly then I die to prove 

An eternity of love ! 

BENJAMIN GOUGH. 



4rby For reviving grace. 

1 Light of life, seraphic fire, 
Love divine, thyself impart : 

Every fainting soul inspire, 
Shine in every drooping heart ; 

Every mournful sinner cheer, 
Scatter all our guilty gloom ; 

Son of God, appear, appear ! 
To thy human temples come. 

2 Come in this accepted hour ; 
Bring thy heaveniy kingdom in ; 

Fill us with thy glorious power, 
Rooting out the seeds of sin : 

Nothing more can we require, 
We will covet nothing less; 

Be thou all our heart's desire, 
All our joy, and all our peace. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

4rt/ O Panting for purity. 

1 Holy Lamb, who thee receive, 
Who in thee begin to live, 

Day and night they cry to thee, 
"As thou art, so let us be ! " 

2 Jesus, see my panting breast ; 
See, I pant in thee to rest ; 
Gladly would I now be clean ; 
Cleanse me now from every sin. 

3 Fix, fix my wavering mind ; 
To thy cross my spirit bind : 
Earthly passions far remove ; 
Swallow up my soul in love. 

4 Dust and ashes though we be, 
Full of sin and misery, 

Thine we are, thou Son of God ; 
Take the purchase of thy blood !

4r91 The new creation. 

1 Love divine, all love excelling, 
Joy of heaven, to earth come down ! 

Fix in us thy humble dwelling; 

All thy faithful mercies crown. 
Jesus, thou art all compassion, 

Pure unbounded love thou art ; 
Visit us with thy salvation ; 

Enter every trembling heart. 

2 Breathe, breathe tby loving Spirit 
Into every troubled breast! 

Let us all in thee inherit, 
Let us find that second rest. 

Take away our bent to sinning ; 
Alpha and Omega be ; 

End of faith, as its beginning, 
Set our hearts at liberty: 

3 Come, almighty to deliver, 
Let us all thy life receive ; 

Suddenly return, and never, 
Never more thy temples leave : 

Thee we would be always blessing, 
Serve thee as thy hosts above, 

Pray, and praise thee without ceasing, 
Glory in thy perfect love. 

4 Finish then thy new creation ; 
Pure and spotless let us be ; 

Let us see thy great salvation, 
Perfectly restored in thee : 



Changed from glory into glory, 
Till in heaven we take our place, 

Till we cast our crowns before thee, 
Lost in wonder, love, and praise. 

CHARLES WKtSLEY. 

4r92 The one thing needful. 

1 Well for him who all things losing, 
E'en himself doth count as naught, 

Still the one thing needful choosing, 
That with all true bliss is fraught ! 

2 Well for him who nothing knowetb 
But his God, whose boundless love 

Makes the heart wherein it glovveth 
Calm and pure as saints above ! 

3 Well for him who all forsaking, 
Walketh not in shadows vain, 

But the path of peace is taking 
Through this vale of tears and paii: i 

4 that we our hearts might sever 
From earth's tempting vanities, 

Fixing them on him forever 
In whom all our fullness lies ! 

5 Thou, abyss of love and goodness, 
Draw us by thy cross to thee, 

That our senses, soul, and spirit, 
Ever one with Christ may be !

According to his word : 
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me, 
We shall from all our sins be free.

Faithful is he and just, 
From all unrighteousness 
To cleanse us all, both you and me : 
We shall from all our sins be free-

We shall in heart be pure, 
And perfected in love : 
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me, 
We shall from all our sins be free.

Our sacrifice of praise : 

Let us give thanks and sing, 
And glory in his grace : 
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me, 
We shall from all our sins be free.

Help me, Saviour, speak the word, 

And perfect me in love.

49o I7ie yo/ce easy and the burden light. 

1 O that my load of sin wore gone ! 
that I could at last submit 

At Jesus' feet to lay it down- 
To lay my soul at Jesus' feet ! 

2 Rest for my soul I long to find : 
Saviour of all, if mine thou art, 

Give me thy meek and lowly mind, 
And stamp thine image on my heart. 

3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, 
And fullv set my spirit free; 

I cannot rest till pure within, 
Till I am wholly lost in thee. 

4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God, 
Thy light and easy burden prove, 

The cross all stained with hallowed blood, 
The labor of thy dying love. 

5 I would, but thou must give the power ; 
Mv heart from every sin release ; 

Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, 
And fill me with thy perfect peace. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

49 O Following the Saviour. 

1 Thou, to whose all-searching sight 
Tbe darkness shineth as the light, 
Search, prove my heart, it pants for thee; 
O burst these honds, and set it free. 

2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross, 
Nail my affections to the cross; 
Hallow each thought ; let all within 
Be clean, as thou, my Lord, art clean. 

3 If in this darksome wild I stray, 
Be thou my light, be thou my way : 



No foes, no violence I fear, 

No fraud, while thou, my God, art near. 

4 When rising floods my soul o'erflow, 
When sinks my heart in waves of woe, 
Jesus, thy timely aid impart, 

And raise my head, and cheer my heart. 

5 Saviour, where'er thy steps I see, 
Dauntless, untired, I follow thee; 

let thy hand support me still, 
And lead me to thy holy hill. 

6 If rough and thorny be the way, 
My strength proportion to my day; 

Tiil toil, and g.ief, and pain shall cease, 
Where all is calm, and joy, and peace. 

GERHARD TERSTEEGEN. TR. BY J. WESLEY. 

49 / For constant devotedness. 

1 Lord, fill me with a humble fear; 
My utter helplessness reveal ; 

Satan and sin are always near, 
Thee may I always nearer feel. 

2 that to thee my constant mind 
Might with an even flame aspire, 

Piide in its earliest motions find, 
And mark the risings of desire ! 

3 O that my tender soul might fly 
The first abhorred approach of illj 

Quick as the apple of an eye, 
The slightest touch of sin to feel ! 

4 Till thou anew my soul create, 

Still may I strive, and watch, and pray; 
Humbly and confidently wait, 
And long to see the perfect day.

4:9(5 The throne of grace. 

1 Behold the throne of grace ; 
The promise calls us near ; 

There Jesus shows a smiling face, 
And waits to answer prayer. 

2 My soul, ask what thou wilt, 
Thou canst not he too hold ; 

Since his own blood for thee he spilt, 
What else can he withhold? 

3 Thine image, Lord, bestow, 
Thy presence and thy love, 

That we may serve thee here below, 
And reign with thee above. 

4 Teach us to live by faith, 
Conform our wills to thine ; 

Let us victorious be in death, 
And then in glory shine. 

JOHN NEWTON. 

4ryy Liiing temples. 

1 And will the mighty God, 
Whom heaven cannot contain, 

Make me bis temple and abode, 
And in me live and reign? 

2 Come, Spirit of the Lord, 
Teacher and heavenly Guide ! 

Be it according to thy word, 
And in my heart reside. 

3 O Holy, Holy Ghost ! 
Pervade this soul of mine : 

In me renew thy Pentecost, 
Reveal thy power divine ! 

4 Make it my highest bliss 
Thy blessed fruits to know ; 

Thy joy, and peace, and gentleness, 
Goodness and faith to show. 



5 Be it my greatest fear 
Thy holiness to grieve ; 

Walk in the Spirit even here, 
And in the bpirit live. 



;eorge kawson. 



OUU Thine, living or dying. 

1 Jesus, I live to thee, 
The loveliest and best ; 

My life in thee, thy life in me. 
In thy blest love I rest. 

2 Jesus, I die to thee, 
Whenever death shall ccme; 

To die in thee is life to me, 
In my eternal home. 

3 Whether to live or die, 

I know not which is best ; 
To live in thee is bliss to me, 
To die is endless rest. 

4 Living or dying, Lord, 
I ask but to be thine ; 

My life in thee, thy life in me, 
Makes heaven forever mine. 

HENRY HABBAUGH. 

501 Purity of heart. 

1 Blest are the pure in heart, 
For they shall see our God ; 

The secret of the Lord is theirs ; 
Their soul is his abode. 

2 Still to the lowly soul 
He doth himself impart, 

And for his temple and his throne 
Selects the pure in heart. 

3 Lord, we thy presence seek, 
May ours this blessing be : 

give the pure and lowly heart,— 
A temple meet for thee.

1 O come, and dwell in me, 
Spirit of power within. 

And bring the glorious liberty 
From sorrow, fear, and sin! 

2 The seed of sin's disease, 
Spirit of health, remove, 

Spirit of finished holiness, 
Spirit of perfect love. 

3 Hasten the joyful day 
Which shall my sins consume; 

When old things shall be done away, 
And all things new become.

Thee merciful and true : 

Thou wilt my guilty soul forgive,

And bid my heart be clean ; 

An end of all my troubles make, 
An end of all my sin.

Now thy all-cleansing blood apply, 
And I am white as snow. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

OU4: Charity supreme. 

1 Had I the gift of tongues, 
Great God, without thy grace, 

My loudest words, my loftiest songs, 
Would be but sounding brass. 

2 Though thou shouldst give me skill 
Each mystery to explain, 

Without a heart to do thy will, 
My knowledge would be vain. 

3 Had I such faith in God 
As mountains to remove, 

No faith could work effectual good, 
That did not work by love. 

4 Grant, then, this one request, 
Whatever be denied, — 

That love divine may rule my breast, 
And all my actions guide. 

SAMUEL STENNETT, ALT.

HOPE. S. M. D. Henry Stephen Cutler. 











FIRST PART. 

505 For ercO're consecration. 

1 Jesus, my strength, my hope, 
On thee I cast my care ; 

With humble confidence look up, 
And know thou hear'st my prayer. 

Give me on thee to wait, 
Till I can all things do ; 

On thee, almighty to create, 
Almighty to renew. 

2 I want a sober mind, 

A self-renouncing will, 
That tramples down, and casts behind, 

The baits of pleasing ill : 
A soul inured to pain, 

To hardship, grief, and loss ; 
Bold to take up, firm to sustain, 

The consecrated cross. 

3 I want a godly fear, 

A quick discerning eye, 
That looks to thee when sin is near, 

And sees the tempter fly : 
A spirit still prepared, 

And armed with jealous care; 
Forever standing on its guard, 

And watching unto prayer. 

CHAKLKS WESLEY. 

13 



187 



SECOND PART. 

QUO For perfect submission. 

1 I want a heart to pray, 
To pray, and never cease ; 

Never to murmur at thy stay, 
Or wish my sufferings less. 

This blessing, above all, 
Always to pray, I want; 

Out of the deep on thee to call, 
And never, never faint. 

2 I want a true regard, 
A single, steady aim, 

Unmoved by threatening or reward, 
To thee and thy great name ; 

A jealous, just concern 
For thine immortal praise ; 

A pure desire that all may learn 
And glorify thy grace. 

3 I rest upon thy word ; 
The promise is for me ; 

My succor and salvation, Lord, 
Shall surely come from thee: 

But let me still abide, 
Nor from my hope remove, 

Till thou my patient spirit guide 
Into thy perfect love.

From Mehul and Haydn. 




.5 07 Walk in the light. 

1 Walk in the light ! so shalt thou Know 
That fellowship of love, 

His Spirit only can hestow 
Who reigns in light above. 

2 Walk in the light! and thou shalt find 
Thy heart made truly his, 

Who dwells in cloudless light enshrined, 
In whom no darkness is. 

3 Walk in the light! and thou shalt own 
Thy darkness passed away, 

Because that light hath on thee shone 
In which is perfect day. 

4 Walk in the light ! and e'en the tomb 
No fearful shade shall wear ; 

Glory shall chase away its gloom, 
For Christ hath conquered there. 

5 Walk in the light ! tby path shall be 
Peaceful, serene, and bright : 

For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee, 
And God himself is light. 



BERNARD BARTON. 



03 The fullness of God. 

1 Bei.vg of beings, God of love, 
To thee our hearts we raise ; 

Thy all-sustaining power we prove, 
And gladly sing thy praise. 

2 Thine, wholly thine, we pant to be ; 
Our sacrifice receive : 

Made, and preserved, and saved by thee, 
To thee ourselves we give. 

3 Heavenward our every wish aspires, 
For all thy mercy's store ; 



188 



The sole return thy love requires, 
Is that we ask for more. 

4 For more we ask ; we open then 
Our hearts to embrace thy will ; 

Turn, and revive us, Lord, again; 
With all thy fullness fill. 

5 Come, Holy Ghost, the Saviour's love 
Shed in our hearts abroad ; 

So shall we ever live, and move, 
And be, with Christ in God. 

CHARLES WESJ,EY. 

509 The thought of God. 

1 O how the thought of God attracts 
And draws the heart from earth, 

And sickens it of passing shows 
And dissipating mirth ! 

2 'Tis not enough to save our souls, 
To shun the eternal fires ; 

The thought of God will rouse the heart 
To more sublime desires. 

3 God only is the creature's home, 
Though rough and strait the road ; 

Yet nothing less can satisfy 
The love that longs for God. 

4 utter but the name of God 
Down in your heart of hearts, 

And see how from the world at once 
All tempting light departs ! 

5 A trusting heart, a yearning eye, 
Can win their way above ; 

If mountains can be moved by faith, 
Is there less power in love ?

OlO For full redemption. 

1 My Saviour, on the word of truth 

In earnest hope I live ; 
I ask for all the precious things 

Thy houndless love can give. 

1 look for many a lesser light 
About my path to shine ; 

But chiefly long to walk with thee, 
And only trust in thine. 

2 Thou knowest that I am not blest 
As thou wouldst have me be, 

Till all the peace and joy of faith 

Possess my soul in thee ; 
And still I seek, 'mid many fears, 

With yearnings unexpressed, 
The comfort of thy strengthening love, 

Thy soothing, settling rest. 

3 It is not as thou wilt with me, 
Till, humbled in the dust, 

I know no place in all my heart 

Wherein to put my trust : 
Until I find, Lord, in thee, 

The Lowly and the Meek, 
The fullness which thy own redeemed 

Go nowhere else to seek. 

ANKA L. WARING. 



OlJL For a tender conscience. 

1 I want a principle within, 

Of jealous, godly fear; 
A sensibility of sin, 

A pain to feel it near : 

1 want the flrst approach to feel 
Of pride, or fond desire ; 

To catch tbe wandering of my will, 
And quench the kindling tire. 

2 From Thee that I no more may part, 
No more thy goodness grieve, 

The filial awe, the fleshly heart, 
The tender conscience give. 

Quick as the apple of an eye, 
O God, my conscience make; 

Awake my soul when sin is nigh, 
And keep it still awake. 

3 If to the right or left I stray, 
That moment, Lord, reprove ; 

And let me weep my life away, 
For having grieved thy love. 

may the least omission pain 
My well-instructed soul, 

And drive me to the blood again, 
Which makes the wounded whole.

And ever prays for me : 

A token of his love he gives, 
A pledge of Liberty. 

2 I And him lifting up my head ; 
He brings salvation near ; 

His presence makes me free indeed, 
And he will soon appear. 

3 He wills that I should holy be ; 
What can withstand his will ? 

The counsel of his grace in me 
He surely shall fulfill. 

4 Jesus, I hang upon thy word : 
I steadfastly believe 

Thou wilt return, and claim me, Lord, 
And to thyself receive. 

5 When God is mine, and I am his, 
Of paradise possessed, 

I taste unutterable bliss, 
And everlasting rest. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

513 Tlie rest of faith. 

1 Lord, I believe a rest remains 
To all thy people known ; 

A rest where pure enjoyment reigns, 
And thou art loved alone : 

2 A rest where all our soul's desire 
Is fixed on things above ; 

Where fear, and sin, and grief expire, 
Cast out by perfect love. 

3 that I now the rest might know, 
Believe, and enter in ! 



Now, Saviour, now the power bestow, 

And let me cease from sin. 
4 Remove this hardness from my heart ; 

This unbelief remove : 
To me the rest of faith impart, 

The Sabbath of thy love. 

CHARLES WESIEY. 

Ol4b Come, Lord Jesus. 

1 O Jesus, at thy feet we wait, 
Till thou shalt bid us rise, 

Restored to our unsinning state, 
To love's sweet paradise. 

2 Saviour from sin, we thee receive, 
From all indwelling sin; 

Thy blood, we steadfastly believe, 
Shall make us throughly clean. 

3 Since thou would st have us free from sin, 
And pure as those above, 

Make haste to bring thy nature in, 
And perfect us in love. 

4 The counsel of thy love fulfill : 
Come quickly, gracious Lord ! 

Be it according to thy will, 
According to thy word. 

5 O that the perfect grace were given, 
Thy love diffused abroad ! 

that our hearts were all a heaven, 
Forever filled with God !

1 joyful sound of gospel grace ! 
Christ shall in me appear; 

I, even I, shall see his face, 
I shall be holy here. 

2 The glorious crown of righteousness 
To me reached out I view : 

Conqueror through him, I soon shall seize, 
And wear it as my due. 

3 The promised land, from Pisgah's top, 
I now exult to see : 

My hope is full, O glorious hope! 
Of immortality. 

4 With me, I know, I feel, thou art ; 
But this cannot suffice, 

Unless thou plantest in my heart 
A constant paradise. 

5 Come, O my God, thyself reveal, 
Fill all this mighty void: 

Thou only canst my spirit fill ; 
Come, my God, my God ! 



CHARLES WESLEY. 



Olb Tlie world overcome. 

1 Let worldly minds the world pursue ; 
It has no charms for me : 

Once I admired its trifles too, 
But grace hath set me free. 

2 Its pleasures can no longer please, 
Nor happiness afford : 

Far from my heart be joys like these, 
Now I have seen the Lord. 



191 



3 As by the light of opening day 
The stars are all concealed, 

So earthly pleasures fade away, 
When Jesus is revealed. 

4 Creatures no more divide my choice ; 
I bid them all depart : 

His name, his love, his gracious voice, 
Have fixed my roving heart.

2 Thy will by me on earth be done,

Who always see thee on thy throne, 
And glory in thy love. 

3 I ask in confidence the grace, 
That I may do thy will, 

As angels who behold thy face, 
And all thy words fulfill. 

4 Surely I shall, the sinner I, 
Shall serve thee without fear, 

If thou my nature sanctify 
In answer to my prayer.

1 Jfsus, thine all- victorious love 
Shed in my heart abroad : 

Then shall my feet no longer rove, 
Rooted and fixed in God. 

2 O that in me the sacred fire 
Might now begin to glow, 

Burn up the dross of base desire 
And make the mountains flow ! 

3 O that it now from heaven might fall, 
And all my sins consume ! 

Come, Holy Ghost, for thee I call ; 
Spirit of burning, come ! 

4 Refining Are, go through my heart ; 
Illuminate my soul; 

Scatter thv life through every part, 
And sanctify the whole. 

5 My steadfast soul, from falling free, 
Shall then no longer move, 

While Christ is all the world to me, 
And all my heart is love. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

Olc/ The affections crucified. 

1 Jesus, my Life, thvself apply; 
Thy Holy Spirit breathe : 

Mv vile affections crucify ; 
Conform me to thy death. 

2 Conqueror of hell, and earth, and sin, 
Still with the rebel strive : 

Enter my soul, and work within, 
And kill, and make alive. 

3 More of thy life, and more I have, 
As the old Adam dies : 



192 



Bury me, Saviour, in thy grave, 
That I with thee may rise. 

4 Reign in me, Lord ; thy foes control, 
Who would not own thy sway ; 

Diffuse thine image through my soul ; 
Shine to the perfect day. 

5 Scatter the last remains of sin, 
And seal me thine abode ; 

O make me glorious all within, 
A temple built by God ! 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



O/^O Give me Thyself. 

1 Jesus hath died that I might live, 
Might live to God alone ; 

In him eternal life receive, 
And be in spirit one. 

2 Saviour, I thank thee for the grace, 
The gift unspeakable ; 

And wait with arms of faith to embrace, 
And all thy love to feel. 

3 My soul breaks out in strong desire 
The perfect bliss to prove ; 

My longing heart is all on fire 
To be dissolved in love. 

4 Give me thyself; from every boast, 
From every wish set free ; 

Let all I am in thee be lost, 
But give thyself to me. 

5 Thy gifts, alas ! cannot suffice, 
Unless thyself be given ; 

Thy presence makes my paradise, 
And where thou art is heaven.

521 ^4 perfect heart. 

1 O for a heart to praise my God, 
A heart from sin set free ! 

A heart that always feels thy blood, 
So freely spilt for me! 

2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, 
My great Redeemer's throne; 

Where only Christ is heard to 
Where Jesus reigns alone. 

3 for a lowly, contrite heart, 
Believing, true, and clean, 

Which neither life nor death can part 
From him that dwells within ! 

4 A heart in every thought renewed, 
And full of love divine; 

Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, 
A copy, Lord," of thine. 

5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart ; 
Come quickly from above ; 

Write thy new name upon my heart, 
Thy new, best name of Love. 

CHARLES WESLEV. 



O^^ The work wrought. 

1 Come, my God, the promise seal, 
This mountain, sin, remove; 

Now in my waiting soul reveal 
The virtue of thy Love. 

2 I want thy life, thy purity. 
Thy righteousness, brought in : 

I ask, desire, and trust in thee 
To be redeemed from sin. 



193 



3 Saviour, to thee my soul looks up, 
My present Saviour thou ! 

In all the confidence of hope, 
I claim the blessing now. 

4 'Tis done ! thou dost this moment save, 
With full salvation bless ; 

Redemption through thy blood I have, 
And spotless love and peace. 

CHARLES WESLET. 



O^O Faith omnipotent. 

1 God of eternal truth and grace, 
Thy faithful promise seal ; 

Thy word, thy oath, to Abrah'm's race, 
Ih me, O Lord, fulfill. 

2 That mighty faith on me bestow, 
Which cannot ask in vain, 

Which holds, and will not let thee go, 
Till I my suit obtain : 

3 Till thou into my soul inspire 
The perfect love unknown ; 

And tell my infinite desire, 
" Whate'er thou wilt, be done." 

4 But is it possible that I 
Should live, and sin no more? 

Lord, if on thee I dare rely, 
The faith shall bring the power. 

5 On me the faith divine bestow 
Whioh doth the mountain move; 

And all my spotless life shall show 
The omnipotence of love.

#D<24: T/iere remaineth therefor:' a rest 
to the people of God.— Heb. 4 . H. 

1 Come, O Thou greater than our heart, 
And make thy faithful mercies known; 

The mind which was in thee impart; 
Thy constant mind in us be shown. 

2 O let us by thy cross abide, 
Thee, only thee, resolved to know, 

The Lamb for sinners crucified, 
A world to save from endless woe. 

3 Take us into thy people's rest, 

And we from our own works shall cease : 
With thy meek Spirit arm our breast, 
And keep our minds in perfect peace. 

4 Jesus, for this we calmly wait ; 

let our eyes behold thee near ! 
Hasten to make our heaven complete ; 

Appear, our glorious God, appear ! 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

£>2o Christ all in all. 

1 Holy, and true, and righteous Lord, 

1 wait to prove thy perfect will: 
Be mindful of thy gracious word, 

And stamp me with thy Spirit's seal. 

2 Open my faith's interior eye : 
Display thy glory from above ; 

And all I am shall sink and die, 
Lost ia astonishment and love. 

3 Confound, o'erpower me by thy grace ; 
I would be by myself abhorred ; 

All might, all majesty, all praise, 
All glory, be to Christ my Lord. 

4 Now let me gain perfection's height; 
Now let me into nothing fall, 

As less than nothing in thy sight, 
And feel that Christ is all in all. 



O^O Waiting for the promise. 

1 O Jesus, full of truth and grace, 

all-atoning Lamb of God, 

1 wait to see thy glorious face; 

1 seek redemption through thy blood. 

2 Thou art the anchor of my hope ; 
The faithful promise I receive : 

Surely thy death shall raise me up, 
For thou hast died that I might live. 

3 Satan, with all his arts, no more 
Me from the gospel hope can move ; 

I shall receive the gracious power, 
And find the pearl of perfect love. 

4 My flesh, which cries, "It cannot be,' 
Shall silence keep before the Lord ; 

And earth, and hell, and sin shall flee 
At Jesus' everlasting word. 



CHAEIES WESLEY. 



0<27 For lowliness and purity. 
1 Jesus, in whom the Godhead's ray3 
Beam forth with mildest majesty ; 

1 see thee full of truth and grace, 
And come for all I want to thee. 

2 Save me from pride— the plague expel , 
Jesus, thine humble self impart : 

O let thy mind within me dwell ; 
give me lowliness of heart. 

3 Enter thyself, and cast out sin ; 
Thy spotless purity bestow : 

Touch me, and make the leper clean ; 
Wash me, and I am ,white as snow. 

4 Sprinkle me, Saviour, with thy blood, 
And all thy gentleness is mine ; 

And plunge me in the purple flood, 
Till all I am is lost in thine.

528 The Canaan of perfect love. 

1 God of all power, and truth, and grace, 
Which shall from age to age endure, 

Whose word, when heaven and earth shall 
pass, 
Remains, and stands forever sure ; 

2 That I thy mercy may proclaim, 
That all mankind thy truth may see, 

Hallow thy great and glorious name, 
And perfect holiness in me. 

3 Give me a new, a perfect heart, 

From doubt, and fear, and sorrow free ; 
The mind which was in Christ impart, 
And let my spirit cleave to thee. 

4 that I now, from sin released, 
Thy word may to the utmost prove ; 

Enter into the promised rest, 
The Canaan of thy perfect love ! 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



529 The will of God. 

1 He wills that I should holy be: 
That holiness I long to feel ; 

That full divine conformity 
To all my Saviour's righteous will. 

2 See, Lord, the travail of thy soul 
Accomplished in the change of mine ; 

And plunge me, every whit made whole, 
In all the depths of love divine. 

3 On thee, O God, my soul is stayed, 
And waits to prove thine utmost will ; 

The promise by thy mercy made, 
Thou canst, thou wilt, in me fulfill. 

4 No more I stagger at thy power, 

Or doubt thy truth, which cannot move : 
Hasten the long-expected hour, 
And bless me with thy perfect love. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



OoU Heavenly bliss in prospect. 

1 Arise, my soul, on wings sublime, 
Above the vanities of time ; 

Let faith now pierce the veil, and see 
The glories of eternity. 

2 Born by a new, celestial birth, 
Why should I grovel here on earth? 
Why grasp at vain and fleeting toys, 
So near to heaven's eternal joys? 

3 Shall aught beguile me on the road, 
The narrow road that leads to God ? 
Or can I love this earth so well, 

As net to long with God to dwell ? 



4 To dwell with God, to taste his love, 
Is the full heaven enjoyed above: 
The glorious expectation now 
Is heavenly bliss begun below. 



JMiS GIBBONS. 



Tlie new covenant. 



531 

1 O God, most merciful and true, 
Thy nature to my soul impart; 

'Stablish with me the covenant new, 
And stamp thine image on my heart. 

2 To real holiness restored, 

let me gain my Saviour's mind; 
And in the knowledge of my Lord, 

Fullness of life eternal find. 

3 Remember, Lord, my sins no more, 
That them I may no more forget ; 

But, sunk in guiltless shame, adore, 
With speechless wonder, at thy feet. 

4 O'erwhelmed with thy stupendous grace, 

1 shall not in thy presence move ; 
But breathe unutterable praise, 

And rapturous awe, and silent love. 

5 Then every murmuring thought, and 

vain. 
Expires, in sweet confusion lost : 
I cannot of my cross complain, 
I cannot of my goodness boast. 

6 Pardoned for all that I have done, 
My mouth as in the dust I hide ; 

And glory give to God alone, 
My God in Jesus pacified. 

CHARLES -WESLEY. 



532 True perfection. 

1 What ! never speak one evil word, 
Or rash, or idle, or unkind ! 

O how shall I, most gracious Lord, 
This mark of true perfection find? 

2 Thy sinless mind in me reveal ; 
Thy Spirit's plenitude impart ; 

And all my spotless life shall tell 
The abundance of a loving heart. 

3 Saviour, I long to testify 

The fullness of thy saving grace; 
may thy power the blood apply, 
Which bought for me the sacred peace 1 

4 Forgive, and make my nature whole, 
My inbred malady remove ; 

To perfect health restore my soul, 
To perfect holiness and love.

Close to thy bleeding side ; 

This all iny hope, and all my plea, 
" For me the Saviour died."

Fountain for guilt and sin.

Wash me, and mine thou art ;

Till faith to sight improve ; 

Till hope in full fruition die, 
And all my soul be love. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

5o4r Perfect rest from sin. 

1 Jesus, the sinner's rest thou art, 
From guilt, and fear, and pain ; 

While thou art absent from the heart 
We look for rest in vain. 

2 O when wilt thou my Saviour be? 
when shall I be clean? 

The true eternal Sabbath see,— 
A perfect rest from sin? 

8 The consolations of thy word 

My soul have long upheld ; 
The faithful promise of the Lord 

Shall surely be fulfilled. 



4 I look to my incarnate God 

Till he his work begin; 
And wait till his redeeming blood 

Shall cleanse me from all sin. 

AUGUSTUS M. TOPLADY. 

000 The gift of righteousness. 

1 I ask the gift of righteousness, 
The sin-subduing power; 

Power to believe, and go in peace, 
And never grieve Thee more. 

2 I ask the blood-bought pardon sealed, 
The liberty from sin, 

The grace infused, the love revealed, 
The kingdom fixed within. 

3 Thou hear'st me for salvation pray ; 
Thou seest my heart's desire ; 

Made ready in thy powerful day, 
Thy fullness I require. 

4 My restless soul cries out, oppressed, 
Impatient to be freed ; 

Nor can I, Lord, nor will I rest, 
Till I am saved indeed. 

5 Thou canst, thou wilt, I dare believe, 
So arm me with thy power, 

That I to sin may never cleave, 
May never feel it more. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

Doxology. 
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, 

The God whom we adore, 
Be glory, as it was, is now, 

And shall be evermore !

1 My God, I know, I feel tbee mine, 
And \vill not quit my claim, 

Till all I have is lost in thine, 
^nd all renewed I am. 

2 I hold thee with a trembling hand, 
And will not let thee go, 

Till steadfastly oy faith I stand, 
And all thy goodness know. 

3 Love only can the conquest win, 
The strength of sin subdue : 

Come, O my Saviour, cast out sin, 
And form my soul anew. 

4 No longer then my heart shall mourn, 
While, sanctified by grace, 

I only for thy glory burn, 
And always see thy face. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

537 Thy icill be done.— Matt. 6:10. 

1 Thy presence, Lord, the place shall fill ; 
My heart shall be thy throne ; 

Thy holy, just, and perfect will, 
Shall in my flesh be done. 

2 I thank thee for the present grace, 
And now in hope rejoice, 

In confidence to see thy face, 
And always hear thy voice. 

3 I have the things I ask of thee ; 
What more shall I require? . 

That still my soul may restless be, 
And only thee desire. 

4 Thy only will be done, not mine, 
But make me, Lord, thy home ; 

Come as thou wilt, I that resign, 
But 0, my Jesus, come !

For patience and sanctity. 

1 Deepen the wound Thy hands have made 
In this weak, helpless soul. 

Till mercy, with its balmy aid, 
Descend to make me whole. 

2 The sharpness of thy two-edged sword 
Enable me to endure, 

Till bold to say, "My hallowing Lord 
Hath wrought a perfect cure." 

3 I see the exceeding broad command, 
Which all contains in one: 

Enlarge my heart to understand 
The mystery unknown. 

4 O that, with all thy saints, I might 
By sweet experience prove 

What is the length, and breadth, and 
height, 
And depth, of perfect love ! 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

5o9 The hope of our calling. 

1 What is our calling's glorious hope, 
But inward holiness? 

For this to Jesus I look up ; 
I calmly wait for this. 

2 I wait till he shall touch me clean, 
Shall life and power impart, 

Give me the faith that casts out sin, 
And purifies the heart. 

3 When Jesus makes my heart his home, 
My sin shall all depart ; 

And, lo ! he saith, " I quickly come, 
To fill and rule thy heart." 

4 Be it according to thy word ; 
Redeem me from all sin ; 

My heart would now receive thee, Lord ; 
Come in, my Lord, come in !

1 O Love divine, how sweet thou art ! 
When shall I And my willing heart 
All taken up by thee? 

1 thirst, I faint, I die to prove 
The greatness of redeeming love, 

The love of Christ to me. 

2 Stronger his love than death or hell; 
Its riches are unsearchable ; 

The first-born sons of light 
Desire in vain its depths to see ; 
They cannot reach the mystery, 

The length, the breadth, the height. 

3 God only knows the love of God ; 
O that it now were shed abroad 

In this poor stony heart ! 
For love I sigh, for love I pine ; 
This only portion, Lord, be mine ; 

Be mine this better part. 

4 that I could forever sit 
With Mary at the Master's feet ! 

Be this my happy choice ; 
My only care, delight, and bliss, 
My joy, my heaven on earth, be this, 

To hear the Bridegroom's voice. 



5 O that I could, with favored John, 
Recline my weary head upon 

The dear Redeemer's breast ! 
From care, and sin, and sorrow free, 
Give me, O Lord, to find in thee 

My everlasting rest. 

CHARLES WESLEY.

1 But can it be that I should prove 
Forever faithful to thy love, 
From sin forever cease ? 

1 thank thee for the blessed hope ; 
It lifts my drooping spirits up ; 

It gives me back my peace. 

2 In thee, O Lord, I put my trust, 
Mighty, and merciful, and just; 

Thy sacred word is passed ; 
And I, who dare thy word believe, 
Without committing sin shall live, 

Shall live to God at last. 

3 I rest in thine almighty power; 
The name of Jesus is my tower 

That hides my life above : 
Thou canst, thou wilt, my helper be ; 
My confidence is all in thee, 

The faithful God of love. 

4 Wherefore, in never-ceasing prayer, 
My soul to thy continual care 

I faithfully commend ; 
Assured that thou through life wilt save 
And show thyself beyond the grave 

My everlasting Friend.

1 O glorious hope of perfect love ! 
It lifts me up to things above ; 

It hears on eagles' wings ; 
It gives my ravished soul a taste, 
And makes me for some moments feast 

With Jesus' priests and kings. 

2 Rejoicing now in earnest hope, 

I stand, and from the mountain top 

See all the land below : 
Rivers of milk and honey rise, 
And all the fruits of paradise 

In endless plenty grow. 

3 A land of corn, and wine, and oil, 
Favored with God's peculiar smile, 

With every blessing blest ; 
There dwells the Lord our Righteousness, 
And keeps his own in perfect peace, 

And everlasting rest. 

4 that I might at once go up; 
No more on this side Jordan stop, 

But now the land possess ; 
Thi'j moment end my legal years, 
Soitows and sins, and doubts and fears, 

A howling wilderness !

1 Help, Lord, to whom for help I fly, 
And still my tempted soul stand by 

Throughout the evil day ; 
The sacred watchfulness impart, 
And keep the issues of my heart, 

And stir me up to pray. 

2 My soul with thy whole armor arm ; 
In each approach of sin alarm, 

And show the danger near : 
Surround, sustain, and strengthen me, 
And fill with godly jealousy 

And sanctifying fear. 

3 Whene'er my careless hands hang down, 
O let me see thy gathering frown, 

And feel thy warning eye ; 
And, starting, cry from ruin's brink, 
" Save, Jesus, or I yield, I sink ; 

O save me, or I die." 

4 If near the pit I rashly stray, 
Before I wholly fall away, 

The keen conviction dart ; 
Recall me by that pitying look. 
That kind, upbraiding glance, which broke 

Unfaithful Peter's heart. 



5 In me thine utmost mercy show, 
And make me like thyself below, 

Unblamable in grace ; 
Ready prepared and Qtted here, 
By perfect holiness, to appear 

Before thy glorious face.

1 God, thy faithfulness I plead, 
My present help in time of need, 

My great Deliverer thou ! 
Haste to mine aid, thine ear incline, 
And rescue this poor soul of mine : 

I claim the promise now. 

2 One only way the erring mind 

Of man, short-sighted man, can find, 

From inbred sin to fly : 
Stronger than love, I fondly thought 
Death, only death, can cut the knot, 

Which love cannot untie. 

3 But thou, Lord, art full of grace; 
Thy love can find a thousand ways 

To foolish man unknown : 
My soul upon thy love I cast ; 
I rest me, till the storm be past, 

Upon thy love alone. 

4 Thy faithful, wise, almighty love 
Shall every stumbling-block remove, 

And make an open way : 
Thy love shall burst the shades of death, 
And bear me from the gulf beneath, 

To everlasting day. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

[C. P. M. Tune, Meribab. Page 358.] 
04rO The pure in heart shall see God. 

1 Saviour, on me the grace bestow, 
That, with thy children, I may know 

My sins on earth forgiven ; 
Give me to prove the kingdom mine, 
And taste, in holiness divine, 

The happiness of heaven. 

2 Me with that restless thirst inspire, 
That sacred, infinite desire, 

And feast my hungry heart ; 
Less than thyself cannot suffice ; 
My soul for all thy fullness cries, 

For all thou hast and art. 

3 Jesus, the crowning grace impart; 
Bless me with purity of heart, 

That, now beholding thee, 
I soon may view thy open face, 
On all thy glorious beauties gaze, 



And God forever

54:6 Mourning departed joys. 

1 Sweet was the time when first I felt 
The Saviour's pardoning blood 

Applied to cleanse ray soul from guilt, 
And bring me home to God. 

2 Soon as the morn the light revealed, 
His praises tuned my tongue; 

And when the evening shades prevailed, 
His love was all my song. 

3 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord, 
And saw his glory shine ; 

And when I read his holy word, 
I called each promise mine. 

4 But now, when evening shade prevails, 
My soul in darkness mourns ; 

And when the morn the light reveals, 
No light to me returns. 

5 Rise, Lord, and help me to prevail ; 
make my soul thy care ; 

I know thy mercy cannot fail ; 
Let me that mercy share. 

JOHN NEWTON". 

o4z / Sad reflections on spiritual sloth. 

1 My drowsy powers, why sleep }"e so? 
Awake, my sluggish soul ! 

Nothing hath half thy work to do, 
Yet nothing 's half so dull. 

2 Go to the ants ! for one poor grain 
See how T they toil and strive; 

Yet we, who have a heaven to obtain, 
How negligent we live ! 

3 We, for whose sake all nature stands, 
An d stars their courses move ; 



We, for whose guard the angel bands 
Come flying from above ; 

4 We, for whom God the Son came down, 
And labored for our good ; 

How careless to secure that crown 
He purchased with his blood ! 

5 Lord, shall we live so sluggish still, 
And never act our parts ? 

Come, holy Dove, from the heavenly hill, 
And warm our frozen hearts ! 

6 Give us with active warmth to move, 
With vigorous souls to rise ; 

With hands of faith, and wings of love, 
To fly and take the prize. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

04fcO Returning to Christ. 

1 My head is low, my heart is sad, 
My feet with travel torn, 

Yet, my Saviour, thou art glad 
To see thy child return ! 

2 It was thy love that homeward led, 
Thine arm that upward stayed; 

It is thy hand which on my head 
Is now in mercy laid. 

3 Saviour, in this broken heart 
Confirm the trembling will, 

Which longs to reach thee where thou art, 
Rest in thee and be still. 

4 Within that bosom which hath shed 
Both tears and blood for me, 

let me hide this aching head, 
Ouce pressed and blessed by thee.

54:9 -For tae return o/ tae Sjjfrz't 

1 O for a closer walk with God, 
A calm and heavenly frame ; 

A light to shine upon the road 
That leads me to the Lamb ! 

2 Where is the blessedness I knew, 
When first I saw the Lord? 

Where is the soul-refreshing view 
Of Jesus and his word ? 

3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! 
How sweet their memory still ! 

But they have left an aching void 
The world can never fill. 

4 Return, holy Dove, return, 
Sweet messenger of rest ! 

I hate the sins that made thee mourn, 
And drove thee from my breast. 

5 The dearest idol I have known, 
Whate'er that idol be, 

Help me to tear it from thy throne, 
And worship only thee. 

6 So shall my walk be close with God, 
Calm and serene my frame ; 

So purer light shall mark the road 
That leads me to the Lamb. 

WILLIAM COWPEE. 

OOU Faint, yet pursuing. 

1 as pants the hart for cooling streams, 
When heated in the chase, 

So longs my soul, O God, for thee, 
And thy refreshing grace. 

2 For thee my God, the living God, 
My thirsty soul doth pine ; 



when shall I behold thy face, 
Thou Majesty divine? 

3 I sigh to think of happier davs. 
When thou, Lord, wast nigh ; 

When every heart was tuned to praise, 
And none more blest than I. 

4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? 
Hope still, and thou shalt sing 

The praise of him who is thy God, 
Thy Saviour, and thy King- 

TATE AND BRADY. 

551 God gracious to the contrite. 

1 Come, let us to the Lord our God 
With contrite hearts return ; 

Our God is gracious, nor will leave 
The desolate to mourn. 

2 His voice commands the tempest forth. 
And stills the stormy wave ; 

His arm, though it be strong to smite, 
Is also strong to save. 

3 Our hearts, if God we seek to know, 
Shall know him and rejoice ; 

His coming like the morn shall be, 
Like morning songs his voice. 

4 As dew upon the tender herb, 
Diffusing fragrance round ; 

As showers that usher in the spring, 
And cheer the thirsty ground ; 

5 So shall bis presence bless our souls, 
And shed a joyful light ; 

That hallowed morn shall chase away 
The sorrows of the night.

1 Hark, ray soul! it is tbe Lord; 
'Tis thy Saviour,— hear his word : 
Jesus speaks, he speaks to thee : 
"Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me? 

2 " I delivered thee when bound, 

And, when bleeding, healed thy wound : 
Sought thee wandering, set thee right, 
Turned tby darkness into light. 

3 "Can a mother's tender care 
Cease toward the child she bare? 
Yes, she may forgetful be, 

Yet will I remember thee. 

4 " Mine is an unchanging love, 
Higher than the heights above; 
Deeper than the depths beneath, 
Free and faithful, strong as death. 

5 "Thou shalt see my glorv soon, 
When the work of faith is done ; 
Partner of my throne shalt be ; 
Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me?" 

6 Lord, it is my chief complaint 
That my love is weak and faint, 
Yet I love thee and adore : 

for grace to love thee more !

Contrition's humble sigh; 
Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears 

From sorrow's weeping eye ; 



2 See, at thy throne of grace, 
A wretched wanderer mourn : 

Hast thou not bid me seek thy face ? 
Hast thou not said, "Return?" 

I 3 Shall guilty fears prevail 
To drive me from thy feet? 
O let not this last refuge fail, 
This only safe retreat. 

4 Absent from thee, my Light, 
Without one cheering ray, 

Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night, 
How desolate my way !

With beams of mercy shine ; 

And let thy voice again impart 
A taste of joy divine.

FIRST PART. 

OOO The warning voice of Jesus. 

1 Gracious Redeemer, shake 
This slumher from ray soul ! 

Say to me now, " Awake, awake ! 
And Christ shall make thee whole. 

2 Lay to thy mighty hand ; 
Alarm me in this hour ; 

And make me fully understand 
The thunder of thy power. 

3 Give me on thee to call, 
Always to watch and pray, 

Lest I into temptation fall, 
And cast my shield away. 

4 For each assault prepared, 
And ready may I be ; 

Forever standing on my guard, 
And looking up to thee. 

5 O do thou always warn 
My soul of evil near ; 

When to the right or left I turn, 
Thy voice still let me hear : 

6 "Come back! this is the way; 
Come back, and walk therein;" 

O may I hearken and obey, 
And shun the paths of sin. 



SECOND PART. 

OOO Commending the soul to God. 

1 Thou seest my feebleness ; 
Jesus, be thou my power, 

My help and refuge in distress, 
My fortress and my tower. 

2 Give me to trust in thee ; 
Be thou my sure abode : 



14 



My horn, and rock, and buckler be. 
My Saviour and my God. 

3 Myself I cannot save, 
Myself I cannot keep, 

But strength in thee I surely have, 
Whose eyelids never sleep. 

4 My soul to thee alone, 
Now therefore I commend : 

Thou, Jesus, love me as thine own, 
And love me to the end. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

DO/ Restore my peace. 

1 O Jesus, full of grace, 
To thee I make my moan : 

Let me again behold thy face, 
Call home thy banished one. 

2 Again my pardon seal, 
Again my soul restore, 

And freely my backslidings heal, 
And bid me sin no more. 

3 Wilt thou not bid me rise? 
Speak, and my sou! shall live; 

"Forgive," my stricken spirit cries, 
"Abundantly forgive." 

4 Thine utmost mercy show ; 
Say to my drooping soul, 

"In peace and full assurance go ; 
Thy faith hath made thee whole."

£>58 Humility and contrition. 

1 Jesus, let thy pitying eye 
Call back a wandering sheep ; 

False to thee, like Peter, I 
Would fain, like Peter, weep. 

Let me he by grace restored ; 
On me be all long-suffering shown ; 

Turn, and look upon me, Lord, 
And break my heart of stone. 

2 Saviour, Prince, enthroned above, 
Repentance to impart, 

Give me, through thy dying love, 
The humble, contrite heart ; 

Give what I have long implored, 
A portion of thy grief unknown ; 

Turn, and look upon me, Lord, 
And break my heart of stone. 

3 See me, Saviour, from above, 
Nor suffer me to die ; 

Life, and happiness, and love 
Drop from thy gracious eye: 

Speak the reconciling word, 
And let thy mercy melt me down ; 

Turn, and look upon me, Lord, 
And break my heart of stone. 



204 



4 Look, as when thy languid eye 
Was closed that we might live ; 

"Father," at the point to die 
My Saviour prayed, "forgive!" 

Surely, with that dying word, 
He turns, and looks, and cries, " 'Tis 
done!" 

my bleeding, loving Lord, 
Thou break'st my heart of stone ! 

CHARLES WEBLKY. 

009 The rleceitfulness of sin. 

1 Jesus, Friend of sinners, hear 
Yet once again, I pray ; 

From my debt of sin set clear, 

For I have naught to pay : 
Speak, O speak the kind release; 

A poor backsliding soul restore; 
Love me freely, seal my peace, 

And bid me sin no more. 

2 For my selfishness and pride 
Thou hast withdrawn thy grace ; 

Left me long to wander wide, 

An outcast from thy face ; 
But I now my sins confess, 

And mercy, mercy, I implore ; 
Love me freely, seal my peace, 

And bid me sin no more. 

3 Sin's deceitfulness hath spread 
A hardness o'er my heart ; 

But if thou thy Spirit shed, 

The stony shall depart : 
Shed thy love, thy tenderness. 

And let me feel thy softening power; 
Love me freely, seal my peace, 

And bid me sin no more.

560 Zeal implored. 

1 Thou who all things canst control, 
Chase this dread slumber from my soul ; 
With joy and fear, with love and awe, 
Give me to keep thy perfect law. 

2 O may one beam of thy blest light 
Pierce through, dispel the shade of night : 
Touch my cold breast with heavenly tire ; 
With holy, conquering zeal inspire. 

3 For zeal I sigh, for zeal I pant ; 
Yet heavy is my soul, and faint : 
With steps unwavering, undismayed, 
Give me in all thy paths to tread. 

4 With outstretched hands, and streaming 

eyes, 
Oft I begin to grasp the prize ; 
I groan, I strive, I watch, I pray ; 
But ah ! my zeal soon dies away.

Afresh upon my spirit steal :

FEOM THE GERMAN. TR. BY J. WESLEY. 

Oul Peace in the favor of God. 

1 O where is now that glowing love 
That marked our union with the Lord? 

Our hearts were fixed on things above, 
Nor could the world a joy afford. 

2 Where is the zeal that led us then 
To make our Saviour's glory known? 

That freed us from the fear of men, 
And kept our eye on him alone ? 

3 Where are the happy seasons, spent 
In fellowship with him we loved? 

The sacred joy, the sweet content, 
The blessedness that then we proved ? 

4 Behold, again we turn to thee; 
O cast us not away, though vile : 

No peace we have, no joy we see, 
O Lord our God, but in thy smile.

1 Thou who earnest from above, 
The pure celestial fire to impart, 

Kindle a flame of sacred love 
On the mean altar of my heart. 



205 



2 There let it for thy glory burn, 
With inextinguishable blaze ; 

And trembling to its source return, 
In humble prayer and fervent praise. 

3 Jesus, confirm my heart's desire 
To work, and speak, and think for thee : 

Still let me guard the holy fire, 
And still stir up thy gift in me. 

4 Ready for all thy perfect will, 
My acts of faith and love repeat, 

Till death thy endless mercies seal, 
And make the sacrifice complete.

With the cross of Jesus 

Going on before. 
Christ. Ihe royal Master, 
Leads against the foe ; 
Forward into battle, 
See, his banners go ! 

Onward, Christian soldiers 1 

Marching as to war, 
With the cross of Jesus 
Going on before.

Satan's host doth flee ; 

On, then. Christian soldiers, 

On to victory ! 
Hell's foundations quiver 

At the shout of praise ; 
Brothers, lift your voices, 

Loud your anthems raise. 

3 Like a mighty army 
Moves the Church of God ; 



Brothers, we are treading 
Where the saints have trod ; 

We are not divided, 
All one body we, 

One in hope and doctrine, 
One in charity. 

4 Crowns and thrones may perish, 
Kingdoms rise and wane, 

But the Church of Jesus 

Constant will remain ; 
Gates of hell can never 

'Gainst that Church prevail ; 
We have Christ's own promise, 

And that cannot fail. 

5 Onward, then, ye people! 
Join our happy throng, 

Blend with ours your voices 

In the triumph-song ; 
Glory, laud, and honor 

Unto Christ the King, 
This through countless ages 

Men and angels sing.

Forward, marching eastward 

Where the heaven is bright, 
Till the veil be lifted, 

Till our faith be sight !

Rise the city towers, 

Where our God abideth ; 

That fair home is ours : 
Flash the streets with jasper, 

Shine the gates with gold ; 
Flows the gladdening river 

Shedding joys untold; 
Thither, onward thither, 

In the Spirit's might : 
Pilgrims to your country, 

Forward into light !

Work through the morning hours; 
Work, while the dew is sparkling, 

Hoik 'mid springing flowers; 
Work, when I he day grows brighter, 

Work in the glowing sun;

When man's work is done.

Work through the sunny noon; 

Fill brightest hours with labor, . 

Rest comes sure and soon. 
Give every flying minute 

Something to keep in store : 
Work, for the night is coming, 

When man works no more. 

3 Work, for the night is coming, 
Under the sunset skies; 

While their bright tints are glowing, 

Work, for daylight Hies. 
Work till th - last beam fadeth, 

Fadeth to shine no more; 
Work while the night is darkening, 

Wh?n man's work is o'er.

Ye soldiers of the cross ; 

Lift high his royal banner. 

It must not suffer loss : 
From victory unto victory 

His army shall he lead, 
Till every foe is vanquished 

And Christ is Lord indeed. 

2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, 
The trumpet call obey ; 

Forth to the mighty conflict, 

In this his glorious day : 
"Ye that are men, now serve him, 

Against unnumbered foes; 
Your courage rise with danger, 

And strength to strength oppose. 

3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, 
Stand in his strength alone ; 

The arm of flesh will fail you ; 

Ye dare not trust your own : 
Put on the gospel armor, 

Each piece put on with prayer ; 
Where duty calls, or danger, 

Be never wanting there. 

4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus, 
The strife will not be long ; 

This day the noise of battle, 
The next the victor's song: 



To him that overcometh, 
A crown of life shall be ; 

He with the King of glory 
Shall reign eternally.

Beneath His banner true : 

The Lord himself, thy Leader, 

Shall all thy foes subdue. 
His love foretells thy trials, 

He knows thine hourly need; 
He can, with bread of heaven, 

Thy fainting spirit feed. 

2 Go forward, Christian soldier, 
Fear not the secret foe ; 

Far more are o'er thee watching 
Than human eyes can know. 

Trust only Christ, 'thy Captain, 
Cease not to watch and pray ; 

Heed not the treacherous voices, 
That lure thy soul astray. 

3 Go forward, Christian soldier, 
Nor dream of peaceful rest, 

Till Satan's host is vanquished, 
And heaven is all possessed ; 

Till Christ himself shall call thee 
To lay thine armor by, 

And wear, in endless glory, 
The crown of victory.

Who madly seeks your overthrow; 

Dread not his rase and power :

faints? 
This seeming triumph o'er God's saints 

Lasts but a little hour.

Though hidden yet from mortal eyes, 
Salvation shall for you arise ; 

He girdeth on his sword !

Not earth nor hell with all their bands 

Against us shall prevail ; 
The Lord shall mock them from his throne ; 
God is with us ; we are his own ; 

Our victory cannot fail ! 

4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer ! 
Great Captain, now thine arm make bare, 

Thy Church with strength defend ; 
So shall thy saints and mdrtyrs raise 
A joyful chorus to thy praise, 

Through ages without end.

Twelve hours, in which he safely may 
His calling's work pursue ? 



Though sin and Satan still are near, 
Nor sin nor Satan can I fear, 
With Jesus in my view. 

2 Light of the world ! thy beams I bless ; 
On thee, bright Sun of righteousness, 

My faith hath fixed its eye : 
Guided by thee, through ail I go, 
Nor fear the ruin spread below, 

For thou art always nigh. 

3 Ten thousand snares my paths beset, 
Yet will I, Lord, the work complete, 

Which thou to me hast given ; 
Regardless of the pains I feel, 
Close by the gates of death and hell, 

I urge my way to heaven.

A wise and understanding heart,

And let me through thy Spirit know 
To glorify my God below, 

And find my way to heaven.

By actions, words, and tempers, show 
That I my heavenly Master know, 

And serve with heart sincere.

From those that on my pleasure wait 

The stumbling-block remove ; 
Their duty by my life explain, 
And still in all my works maintain 

The dignity of love. 

3 Easy to be entreated, mild, 
Quickly appeased and reconciled, 

A follower of my God, 
A saint indeed, I long to be, 
And lead my faithful family 

In the celestial road. 

4 Lord, if thou didst the wish infuse, 
A vessel fitted for thy use 

Into thy hands receive :

And show them how believers true, 

And real Christians, live.

0/4r .For watchfulness. 

1 A charge to keep I have, 
A God to glorify ; 

A never-dying soul to save, 

And fit it for the sky. 
To serve the present age, 

My calling to fulfill,— 
O may it all my powers engage, 

To do my Master's will. 

2 Arm me with jealous care, 
As in thy sight to live ; 

And 0, thy servant, Lord, prepare, 

A strict account to give. 
Help me to watch and pray, 

And on thyself rely, 
Assured, if I my trust betray, 

1 shall forever die. 

CHAKLES WESLEY. 



4 O Sow beside all waters. 

1 Sow in the morn thy seed ; 
At eve hold not thy hand ; 

To doubt and fear give thou no heed, 
Broadcast it o'er the land. 

2 Thou know'st not which shall thrive, 
The late or early sown ; 

Grace keeps the precious germ alive, 
When and wherever strown : 

3 And duly shall appear, 

In verdure, beauty, strength, 
The tender blade, the stalk, the ear, 
And the full corn at length. 



& 



4 Thou canst not toil in vain : 
Cold, heat, and moist, and dry, 

Shall foster and mature the grain 
For garners in the sky. 

5 Then, when the glorious end, 
The day of God, shall come, 

The angel reapers shall descend, 
And heaven shout, " Harvest home ! ' 

JiMKS MONTGOMERY. 



Make haste to live. 



576 

1 Make haste, O man, to live, 
For thou so soon must die ; 

Time hurries past thee like the breeze ; 
How swift its moments fly ! 

2 Make haste, O man, to do 
Whatever must be done ; 

Thou hast no time to lose in sloth, 
Thy day will soon be gone. 

3 Up, then, with speed, and work ; 
Fling ease and self away ; 

This is no time for thee to sleep, 
Up, watch, and work, and pray ! 

4 Make haste, O man, to live, 
Thy time is almost o'er ; 

O sleep not, dream not, but arise, 
The Judge is at the door. 

HORATIL'S BOKAR. 

Doxology. 
To God, the Father, Son, 

And Spirit, One in Three, 
Be glory, as it was, is now, 

And shall forever be.

0/7 Victory on the Lord's side. 

1 Arise, ye saints, arise ! 
The Lord our Leader is ; 

The foe before his banner flies, 
And victory is his. 

2 We follow thee, our Guide, 
Our Saviour, and our King ; 

We follow thee, through grace supplied 
From heaven's eternal spring. 

3 We soon shall see the day 
When all our toils shall cease ; 

When we shall cast our arms away, 
And dwell in endless peace. 

4 This hope supports us here ; 
It makes our burdens light ; 

'Twill serve our drooping hearts to cheer, 
Till faith shall end in sight : 

5 Till, of the prize possessed, 
We hear of war no more ; 

And ever with our Leader rest, 
On yonder peaceful shore. 

THOMAS KELLY. 

/ C3 Recompense of toil. 

1 Laborers of Christ, arise, 
And gird you for the toil ! 

The dew of promise from the skies 
Already cheers the soil. 

2 Go where the sick recline, 
Where mourning hearts deplore ; 

And where the sons of sorrow pine, 
Dispense your hallowed store. 

3 Be faith, which looks above, 
With prayer, your constant guest ; 

And wrap the Saviour's changeless love 
A mantle round your breast. 



213 



4 So shall you share the wealth 
That earth may ne'er despoil, 

And the blest gospel's saving health 
Repay your arduous toil. 

MKS. LYDIA H. SIGODBNEY. 

O 7 y Souring in tears, reaping in joy. 

1 The harvest dawn is near, 
The year delays not long ; 

And he who sows with many a tear, 
Shall reap with many a song. 

2 Sad to his toil he goes, 

His seed with weeping leaves ; 
But he shall come at twilight's close, 
And bring his golden sheaves. 

GEORGE BURGESS. 

OcjO On guard. 

1 Let us keep steadfast guard 
With lighted hearts all night, 

That when Christ comes, we stand pre- 
pared, 
And meet him with delight. 

2 At midnight's season chill 
Lay Paul and Silas bound,— 

Bound, and in prison sang they still. 
And singing, freedom found. 

3 Our prison is this earth, 
And yet we sing to thee : 

Break sin's strong fetters, lead us forth, 
Set us, believing, free ! 

4 Meet for thy realm in heaven, 
Make us, holy King! 

That through the- ages^it be given 
To us thy praise to sing.

Ool Perseverance. 

1 My soul, be on thy guard ; 
Ten thousand foes arise ; 

The hosts of sin are pressing hard 
To draw thee from the skies. 

2 watch, and fight, and pray ; 
The battle ne'er give o'er ; 

Renew it boldly every day, 
And help divine implore. 

3 Ne'er think the victory won, 
Nor lay thine armor down: 

The work of faith will not be done, 
Till thou obtain the crown. 

4 Fight on, my soul, till death 
Shall bring thee to thy God ; 

He '11 take thee, at thy parting breath, 
To his divine abode. 

GE.OB.V.E HEATH. 

Oc^ Th-e stan-dard of the cross. 

1 Hark, how the watchmen cry I 
Attend the trumpet's sound ; 

Stand to your arms , the foe is nigh, 
The powers of hell surround. 

Who bow to Christ's command, 
Your arms and hearts prepare ; 

The day of battle is at hand — 
Go forth to glorious war. 

2 See on the mountain-top 
The standard of your God ; 

In Jesus' name I lift it up, 
All stained with hallowed blood. 

His standard-bearer, I 
To all the nations call : 

Lot all to Jesus' cross draw nigh; 
He bore the cross for all. 



3 Go up with Christ your Head ; 

Your Captain's footsteps see; 
Follow your Captain, and be led 

To certain victory. 
All power to him is given ; 

He ever reigns the same : 
Salvation, happiness, and heaven, 

Are all in Jesus' name. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



O O Cou rage— victory. 

1 Urge on your rapid course, 
Ye blood-besprinkled bands ; 

The heavenly kingdom suffers force ; 

'Tis seized by violent hands: 
See there the starry crown 

That glitters through the skies ; 
Satan, the world, and sin, tread down, 

And take the glorious prize. 

2 Tbrouerh much distress and pain, 
Through many a conflict here, 

Through blood, ye must the entrance gain, 

Yet, O disdain to fear : 
"Courage!" your Captain cries, 

Who all your toil foreknew ; 
" Toil ye shall have, yet all despise ; 

I have o'ercome for you." 

3 The world cannot withstand 
Its ancient Conqueror; 

The world must sink beneath the hand 

Which arms us for the war : 
This is the victory,— 

Before our faith they fall ; 
Jesus' hath died for you and me ; 

Believe, and conquer alL

1 My soul, weigh not thy life 
Against thy heavenly crown ; 

Nor suffer Satan's deadliest strife 
To beat thy courage down. 

2 With prayer and crying strong, 
Hold on the fearful fight, 

And let the breaking day prolong 
The wrestling of the night. 

3 The battle soon will yield, 
If thou thy part fulfill ; 

For strong as is the hostile shield, 
Thy sword is stronger still. 

4 Tbine armor is divine, 
Thy feet with victory shod ; 

And on thy head shall quickly shine 
The diadem of God. 



5 SO Victory. 

1 "I the good fight have fought," 

when shall I declare? 
The victory by my Saviour got, 

1 long with Paul to share. 

2 O may I triumph so, 

When all my warfare 's past ; 
And, dying, find my latest foe 
Under my feet at last ! 

3 This blessed word be mine, 
Just as the port is gained, 

"Kept by the power of grace divine, 
I have the faith maintained."

To whom it first was given, 

They could not speak a greater word, 
Nor all the saints in heaven.

And teach my hands to fight ;

And guide my words aright.

My whole of sin remove ; 

Let all my works in thee be wrought, 
Let all be wrought in love. 

3 arm me with the mind, 
Meek Lamb, that was in thee ; 

And let my knowing zeal be joined 
With perfect charity. 

4 With calm and tempered zeal 
Let me enforce thy call ; 

And vindicate thy gracious will, 
Which offers life to all. 

5 O may I love like thee ; 
In all thy footsteps tread ; 

Thou hatest all iniquity, 
But nothing thou hast made. 

6 may I learn the art, 
With meekness to reprove ; 

To hate the sin with all my heart, 
But still the sinner love.

FIRST PART. 

5o7 The whole armor of God. 

1 Soldiers of Christ, arise, 
And put your armor on. 

Strong in tlie strength which God supplies 

Through his eternal Son ; 
Strong in the Lord of hosts, 

And in his mighty power, 
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts 

Is more than conqueror. 

2 Stand, then, in his great might, 
With all his strength endued; 

But take, to arm you for the fight, 

The panoply of God : 
That, having all things clone. 

And all your conflicts passed. 
Ye may overcome through Christ alone, 

And stand entire at last. 

3 Leave no unguarded place, 
No weakness of the soul ; 

Take every virtue, every grace, 

And fortify the whole : 
Indissolubly joined, 

To battie all proceed ; 
But arm yourselves with all the mind 

That was in Christ, your Head. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 
SECOND PART. 

£>88 The shield of faith. 
1 Soldiers of Christ, lay hold 

On faith's victorious shield; 
Armed with that adamant and gold, 

Be sure to win the field : 
If faith surround your heart, 

Satan shall be subdued; 
Repelled his every fierv dart, 

And quenched with Jesus' blood. 



2 Jesus hath died for you ! 

What can his love withstand? 
Believe, hold fast your shield, and who 

Shall pluck you from his hand? 
Believe that Jesus reigns : 

All power to him is given: 
Believe, till freed from sin's remains; 

Believe yourselves to heaven. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



THIRD PART. 

«5S0 The well-fought day. 

1 Pray, without ceasing pray, 
Your Captain gives the word; 

His summons cheerfully obey, 

And call upon the Lord: 
To God your every want 

In instant prayer display ; 
Pray always; pray, and never faint; 

Pray, without ceasing pray. 

2 In fellowship, alone, 

To God with faith draw near; 
Approach his courts, besiege his throne 

With all the power of prayer: 
His mercy now" implore, 

And now show forth his praise; 
In shouts, or silent awe, adore 

His miracles of grace. 

3 From strength to strength go on ; 
Wrestle, and fight, and pray; 

Tread all the powers of darkness down, 
And win the well-fought day: 

Still let the Spirit cry 
In all his soldiers, "Come!" 

Till Christ the Lord descend from high, 
And take the conquerors home.

09 O Bearing the cross. 

1 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee, 
And pray to be forgiven, 

So let toy life our pattern be, 
And form our souls for heaven. 

2 Help us, through good report and ill, 
Our daily cross to bear ; 

Lite thee, to do our Father's will, 
Our brother's griefs to share. 

3 Let grace our selfishness expel, 
Our earthliness refine ; 

And kindness in our bosoms dwell 
As free and true as thine. 

4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly, 
And grief's dark day come on, 

We, in our turn, would meekly cry, 
"Father, thy will be done!" 

5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, 
Forgiving and forgiven, 

may we lead the pilgrim's life, 
And follow thee to heaven ! 

JOHN H. GURNEY. 

Oyj. Christian courage. 

1 Workman of God ! O lose not heart, 
But learn what God is like ; 

And in the darkest battle-field 
Thou shalt know where to strike. 

2 Thrice blest is he to whom is given 
The instinct that can tell 

That God is on the field, when he 
Is most invisible. 



217 



3 Blest too is he who can divine 
Where real right doth lie, 

And dares to take the side that seems 
Wrong to man's blindfold eye. 

4 Then learn to scorn the praise of men, 
And learn to lose with God ; 

For Jesus won the world through shame, 
And beckons thee his road. 

FREDERICK W. FABM. 

£>9 2 Toil sanctified. 

1 Son of the carpenter, receive 
This humble work of mine ; 

Worth to my meanest labor give, 
By joining it to thine. 

2 Servant, at once, and Lord of all, 
While dwelling here below, 

Thou didst not scorn our earthly toil 
And weariness to know. 

3 Thy bright example I pursue, 
To thee in all things rise, 

And all I think, or speak, or do, 
Is one great sacrifice. 

4 Careless through outward cares I go. 
From all distraction free : 

My hands are but engaged below, 
My heart is still with thee. 

5 when wilt thou, my life, appear? 
Then gladly will I cry, 

" 'Tis done, the work thou gav'st me here, 
'Tis finished, Lord," and diel

1 am I a soldier of the cross, 
A follower of the Lamb, 

And shall I fear to own his cause, 
Or blush to speak his name? 

2 Must I be carried to the skies 
On flowery beds of ease, 

While others fought to win the prize, 
And sailed through bloody seas? 

3 Are there no foes for me to face ? 
Must I not stem the flood ? 

Is this vile world a friend to grace, 
To help me on to God? 

4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; 
Increase my courage. Lord ; 

I '11 bear the toil, endure the pain, 
Supported by thy word. 

5 Thy saints in all this glorious war 
Shall conquer, though they die: 

They see the triumph from afar, 
By faith they bring it nigh. 

3 When that illustrious day shall rise, 

And all thy armies shine 
In robes of victory through the skies, 

The glory shall be thine.

094: The race for glory. 

1 Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve, 
And press with vigor on ; 

A heavenly raee demands thy zeal, 
And an immortal crown. 

2 A cloud of witnesses around 
Hold thee in full survey ; 



Forget the stops already trod. 
And onward urge thy way. 

3 'Tis God's all-animating voice 
That calls thee from on high ; 

'Tis his own hand presents the prize 
To tbine aspiring eye :— 

4 That prize, with peerless glories bright. 
Which shall new luster boast, 

When victors' wreaths and monarchs' 
gems 
Shall blend in common dust. 

5 Blest Saviour, introduced by thee, 
Have I my race begun; 

And, crowned with victory, at thy feet 
I'll lay my honors down. 

PHILIP DODDRIDG2. 

DUO Not ashamed of the Gospel. 

1 I 'm not ashamed to own my Lord, 
Or to defend his cause ; 

Maintain the honor of his word, 
The glory of his cross. 

2 Jesus, my God! I know his name ; 
His name is all my trust ; 

Nor will he put my soul to shame, 
Nor let my hope be lost. 

3 Firm as his throne his promise stands, 
And he can well secure 

What I 've committed to his hands, 
Till the decisive hour. 

4 Then will he own my worthless name 
Before his Father's face, 

And in the New Jerusalem 
Appoint my soul a place.

596 To dou&£, disloyal. 

1 it is hard to work for God, 
To rise and take his part 

Upon this battle-field of earth, 
And not sometimes lose heart ! 

2 He hides himself so wondrously, 
As though there were no God ; 

He is least seen when all the powers 
Of ill are most abroad ; 

3 Or he deserts us in the hour 
The fight is all but lost ; 

And seems to leave us to ourselves 
Just when we need him most. 

4 It is not so, but so it looks ; 
And we lose courage then ; 

And doubts will come if God hath kept 
His promises to men. 

5 But right is right, since God is God; 
And right the day must win ; 

To doubt would be disloyalty, 
To falter would be sin ! 

FREDERICK W. FABER. 

Oa7 Week-day worship. 

1 Behold us, Lord, a little space 
From daily tasks set free. 

And met within thy holy place 
To rest awhile with thee. 

2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide 
Of business, toil, and care, 

And scarcely can we turn aside 
For one brief hour of prayer. 

15 



21! 



3 Yet these are not the only walls 
Wherein thou mayst be sought ; 

On homeliest work thy blessing falls 
In truth and patience wrought. 

4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart, 
The wealth of land and sea ; 

The worlds of science and of art, 
Revealed and ruled by thee. 

5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth 
In all we do and know ; 

And claim the kingdom of the earth 
For thee, and not thy foe. 

6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought 
As thou wouldst have it done ; 

And prayer, by thee inspired and taught, 
Itself with work be one. 

JOHN ELLERTON. 



OyO More reapers. 

1 O still in accents sweet and strong 
Sounds forth the ancient word, 

"More reapers for white harvest fields, 
More laborers for the Lord! " 

2 We hear the call ; in dreams no more 
In selfish ease we lie, 

But girded for our Father's work, 
Go forth beneath his sky. 

3 Where prophets' word, and martyrs' 

blood, 
And prayers of saints were sown, 
We, to their labors entering in, 
Would reap where they have strown,

In all the armor of his God; 

The Spirit's sword is in his hand.

Salvation's helmet on his head; 

With righteousness a breast-plate meet, 
And faith's broad shield before him spread.

Yet vain were skill and valor there, 

Unless, to foil his legion foes, 
He takes the trustiest weapon, prayer.

Sin, death, and hell, he tramples down ; 

Fights the good flght, and wins at length, 
Through mercy, an immortal crown.

Contending for your native place ; 

And emulate the angel choir, 
And only live to love and praise. 

5 For who by faith your Lord receive, 
Ye nothing seek or want beside ; 

Dead to the world and sin ye live, 
Your creature-love is crucified. 

6 Your real life, with Christ concealed, 
Deep in the Father's bosom lies ; 

And glorious as your Head revealed, 
Ye soon shall meet him in the skies.

DUX Take vp thy cross. 

1 " Take up thy cross," the Saviour said, 
"If thou wouldst my disciple be; 

Deny thyself, the world forsake, 
And humbly follow after me." 

2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight 
Fill thy weak spirit with alarm ; 

His strength shall bear thy spirit up, 
And brace thy heart and nerve thine arm. 

3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame ; 
Nor let tby foolish pride rebel ; 

Thy Lord for thee the cross endured, 
To save thy soul from death and hell. 

4 Take up thy cross, then, in his strength, 
And calmly every danger brave; 

'Twill guide thee to a better home, 
And lead to victory o'er the grave. 

5 Take up thy cross, and follow Christ; 
Nor think till death to lay it down ; 

For only he who bears the cross 
May hope to wear the glorious crown. 

CHARLES W. EVEREST. 

OU/w The sure reward. 

1 It may not be our lot to wield 
The sickle in the ripened held ; 
Nor ours to hear, on summer eves, 
The reaper's song among the sheaves. 

2 Yet where our duty's task is wrought 
In unison with God's great thought, 
The near and future blend in one, 
And whatsoe'er is willed, is done. 

3 And ours the grateful service whence 
Comes, day by day, the recompense ; 



221 



The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed, 
The fountain, and the noonday shade. 

4 And were this life the utmost span, 
The only end and aim of man, 
Better the toil of fields like these 
Than waking dream and slothful ease. 

5 But life, though falling like our grain, 
Like that revives and springs again ; 
And, early called, how blest are they 
Who wait in heaven, their harvest day! 

JOHN G. WHITTIER. 

603 Zeal in labor. 

1 Go, labor on; spend and be spent, 
Thy joy to do the Father's will ; 

It is the way the Master went ; 
Should not the servant tread it still? 

2 Go, labor on ; 'tis not for naught ; 
Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain ; 

Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not ; 
The Master praises, — what are men ? 

3 Go, labor on; your hands are weak; 
Your knees are faint, your soul cast 

down; 
Yet falter not ; the prize you seek 
Is near,— a kingdom and a crown ! 

4 Toil on, faint not ; keep watch, and pray I 
Be wise the erring soul to win ; 

Go forth into the world's highway; 
Compel the wanderer to come in. 

5 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice ; 
For toil comes rest, for exile home ; 

Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's 
voice, 
The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!"

1 Jesus, and shall it ever be, 

A mortal man ashamed of thee? 
Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, 
Whose glories shine through endless days 

2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far 
Let evening blush to jwn a star ; 
He sheds the beams of light divine 
O'er this benighted soul of mine. 

3 Ashamed of Jesus ! just as soon 
Let midnight be ashamed of noon; 
Tis midnight with my soul till he, 
Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee. 

4 Ashamed of Jesus ! that dear Friend 
On whom my hopes of heaven depend ! 
No ; when I blush, be this my shame, 
That I no more revere his name. 

5 Ashamed of Jesus ! yes, I may, 
When I've no guilt to wash away; 
No tear to wipe, no good to crave, 
No fears to quell, no soul to save. 

6 Till then— nor is my boasting vain— 
Till then I boast a Saviour slain; 
And O, may this my glory be, 

That Christ is not ashamed of me ! 

JOSEPH GRIGG, ALT. BY B. FRANCIS. 

605 Living to Christ. 

1 MY gracious Lord, I own thy right 
To every service I can pay, 

And call it my supreme delight 
To hear thy dictates, and obey. 

2 What is my being but for thee, 
Its sure support, its noblest end? 



'Tis my delight thy face to see, 
And serve the cause of such a Friend. 

3 I would not sigh for worldly joy, 
Or to increase my worldly good; 

Nor future days nor powers employ 
To spread a sounding name abroad. 

4 'Tis to my Saviour I would live, 
To him who for my ransom died; 

Nor could all worldly honor give 
Such bliss as crowns me at his side. 

5 His work my hoary age shall bless, 
When youthful vigor is no more; 

And my last hour of life confess 
His dying love, his saving power. 

PHILIP DODDRIDGE. 

000 Beginning the labors of the day. 

1 Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go, 
My daily labors to pursue; 

Thee, only thee, resolved to know, 
In all I think, or speak, or do. 

2 Thee will I set at my light hand, 
Whose eyes mine inmost substance see; 

And labor on at thy command, 
And offer all my works to thee. 

3 Give me to bear thy easy yoke, 
And every moment watch and pray ; 

And still to things eternal look, 
And hasten to thy glorious day. 

4 For thee delightfully employ 
Whate'er thy bounteous grace 

given ; 
And run my course with even joy, 
And closely walk with thee to heaven

DU7 The Master calling. 

1 Hark, the voice of Jesus calling, 

" Who will go and work to-day ? 
Fields are white, and harvests waiting, 

Who will bear the sheaves away?" 
Loud and long the Master calleth, 

Rich reward he offers free ; 
Who will answer, gladly saying, 

"Here am I, send me, send me? " 



2 Let none hear you idly saying, 

"There is nothing I can do," 
While the souls of men are dying, 

And the Master calls for you : 
Take the task he gives you gladly ; 

Let his work your pleasure be ; 
Answer quickly when he calleth, 

"Here am I, send me, send me."

1 Faith of our fathers ! living still 

In spite of dungeon, Are, and sword : 
how our hearts beat high with joy 

Whene'er we hear that glorious word : 
Faith of our fathers ! holy faith ! 
We will be true to thee till death ! 

2 Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, 
Were still in heart and conscience free : 

How sweet would be their children's fate, 
If they, like them, could die for thee ! 
Faith of our fathers ! holy faith ! 
We will be true to thee till death ! 

3 Faith of our fathers ! we will love 
Both friend and foe in all our strife : 

And preach thee, too, as love knows how, 

By kindly words and virtuous life : 
Faith of our fathers ! holy faith ! 
We will be true to thee till death ! 

FREDERICK W. FABER.

O y Thy service is perfect freedom. 

1 Lo ! I come with joy to do 
The Master's blessed will ; 



Him in outward works pursue, 
And serve his pleasure still. 

Faithful to my Lord's commands, 
I still would choose the better part, 

Serve with careful Martha's hands, 
And loving Mary's heart. 

2 Careful, without care I am, 
Nor feel my happy toil, 

Kept in peace by Jesus' name, 

Supported by his smile : 
Joyful thus my faith to show, 

I And his service my reward ; 
Every work I do below, 

I do it to the Lord. 

3 O that all the art might know 
Of living thus to thee, 

Find their heaven begun below, 

And here thy glory see ! 
Walk in all the works prepared 

By thee, to exercise their grace, 
Till they gain their full reward, 

And see thy glorious face!

blU A calm and thankful heart. 

1 Father, whate'er of earthly bliss 
Thy sovereign will denies. 

Accepted at thy throne of grace, 
Let this petition rise: 

2 Give me a calm, a thankful heart, 
From every murmur free ; 

The blessings of thy grace impart, 
And make me live to thee. 

3 Let the sweet hope that thou art mine 
My life and death attend ; 

Thy presence through my journey shine, 
And crown my journey's end. 



611 The only solace in sorrow. 

1 O Thou who driest the mourner's tear, 
liow dark this world would be, 

If, when deceived and wounded here, 
We could not fly to thee ! 

2 The friends who in our sunshine live, 
"When winter comes, are flown ; 

And he who has but tears to give, 
Must weep those tears aione. 

3 But thou wilt heal that broken heart, 
"Which, like the plants that throw 

Their fragrance from the wounded part, 
Breathes sweetness out of woe. 

4 O who could bear life's stormy doom, 
Did not thv wing of love 

Come brightly wafting through the 
gloom, 
Our peace-branch from above? 



5 Then sorrow, touched by thee, grows 
bright 

With more than rapture's ray ; 
As darkness shows us worlds of light 

We never saw by day. 

THOMAS MOOEE. 

(j J-^-— Consolation in, sickness. 

1 When languor and disease invade 
This trembling house of clay, 

'Tis sweet to look beyond my pains, 
And long to fly away ; 

2 Sweet to look inward, and attend 
The whispers of His love ; 

Sweet to look upward, to the place 
Where Jesus pleads above ; 

J 3 Sweet to look back, and see my name 
In life's fair book set down ; 
Sweet to look forward, and behold 
Eternal joys my own ; 

4 Sweet to reflect how grace divine 
My sins on Jesus laid ; 

Sweet to remember that his blood 
My debt of suffering paid ; 

5 Sweet to rejoice in lively hope, 
That, when my change shall come, 

Angels shall hover round my bed, 
And waft my spirit home. 

6 If such the sweetness of the stream, 
What must the fountain be, 

Where saints and angels draw their bliss 
Directly, Lord, from thee !

613 Friend of souls. 

1 O Friend of souls ! how blest the time 
When in thy love I rest, 

When from my weariness I climb 
E'en to thy tender breast ! 

2 The night of sorrow endeth there, 
Thy rays outshine the sun, 

And in thy pardon and thy care 
The heaven of heavens is won. 

3 The world may call itself my foe, 
Or flatter and allure : 

I care not for the world ; I go 
To this tried Friend and sure. 

4 And when life's fiercest storms are sent 
Upon life's wildest sea, 

My little bark is confident, 
Because it holdeth thee. 

5 To others, death seems dark and grim, 
But not, O Lord, to me : 

I know thou ne'er forsakest him 
Who puts his trust in thee. 

6 Nay, rather, with a joyful heart 
I welcome the release 

From this dark desert, and depart 
To thy eternal peace. 

WOLFGANG C. DESSLEB. 

(314r Unfaltering trust. 

1 Father of love, our Guide and Friend, 
O lead us gently on, 

Until life's trial-time shall end, 
And heavenly peace be won. 

2 We know not what the path may be 
As yet by us untrod ; 



225. 



But we can trust our all to thee, 
Our Father and our (iod. 

3 If called, like Abraham's child, to climb 
The hill of sacrifice, 

Some angel may be there in time ; 
Deliverance shall arise : 

4 Or, if some darker lot be good, 
O teach us to endure 

The sorrow, pain, or solitude, 
That make the spirit pure. 

5 Christ by no flowery pathway came ; 
And we, his followers here, 

Must do thy will and praise thy name, 
In hope, and love, and fear. 

6 And, till in heaven we sinless bow, 
And faultless anthems raise, 

Father, Son, and Spirit, now 
Accept our feeble praise. 

WILLIAM J. IRONS. 

0_1_0 Crosses and blessings. 

1 Since all the varying scenes of time 
God's watchful eye surveys, 

who so wise to choose our lot, 
Or to appoint our ways? 

2 Good, when he gives— supremely good, 
Nor less when he denies ; 

E'en crosses, from his sovereign hand, 
Are blessings in disguise. 

3 Why should we doubt a Father's love, 
So constant and so kind? 

To his unerring, gracious will 
Be every wish resigned.

With better hopes be filled.

Thv mercy o'er my life has flowed ;

3 In each event of life, how clear 
Thy ruling hand I see ! 

Each blessing to my soul more dear, 
Because conferred by thee. 

4 In every joy that crowns my days, 
In every pain I bear, 

My heart shall find delight in praise, 
Or seek relief in prayer. 

5 When gladness wings my favored hour, 
Thy love my thoughts shall fill ; 

Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, 
My soul shall meet thy will. 

6 My lifted eye, without a tear, 
The gathering storm shall see : 

My steadfast heart shall know no fear ; 
That heart will rest on thee.

1 Author of good, we rest on thee : 

Thine ever watchful eye 
Alone oar real wants can see, 

Thy hand alone supply. 



2 In thine all-gracious provideuce 
Our cheerful hopes confide ; 

O let thy power be our defense, 
Thy love our footsteps guide. 

3 And since, by passion's force subdued, 
Too oft, with stubborn will, 

We blindly shun the latent good, 
And grasp the specious ill,— 

4 Not what we wish, but what we want, 
Let mercy still supply : 

The good we ask not, Father, grant ; 
The ill we ask, deny.

Send us down blest relief ; 

Or, to the chastened, let thy might 
Hallow this whelming grief. 

3 And thou, that, when the starry sky 
Saw the dread strife begun, 

Didst teach adoring faith to cry, 
"Father, thy will be done,"— 

4 By thy meek Spirit, thou, of all 
That e'er have mourned the chief, 

Blest Saviour, if the stroke must fall, 
Hallow this whelming grief.

shroud 
Thy thorny path awhile, 
God's blessed word can part each cloud, 
And bid the sunshine smile. 

4 Only believe, in living faith, 
His love and power divine ; 

And ere thy sun shall set in death, 
His light shall round thee shine. 

5 When tempest clouds are dark on high, 
His bow of love and peace 

Shines sweetly in the vaulted sky, 
A pledge that storms shall cease. 

6 Hold on thy way, with hope unchilled, 
By faith and not by sight, 

And thou shalt own his word fulfilled, 
"At eve it shall be light."

And pitied every groan ; 

Long as I live, when troubles rise, 
I '11 hasten to his throne. 

2 I love the Lord : he bowed his ear, 
And chased my grief away ; 

let my heart no more despair, 
While I have breath to pray. 

3 The Lord beheld me sore distressed; 
He bade my pains remove : 

Return, my soul, to God, thy rest, 
For thou hast known his love.

1 He leadeth me! blessed thought ! 

words with heavenly comfort fraught ! 
Whate'er I do, where'er I be, 
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. 
He leadeth me, he leadeth me, 
By his own hand he leadeth me : 
His faithful follower I would be, 
For by his hand he leadeth me. 

2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, 
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, 
By waters still, o'er troubled sea,— 

Still 'tis his hand that leadeth me! 

3 Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine, 
Nor ever murmur nor repine, 
Content, whatever lot I see, 

Since 'tis my God that leadeth me! 

4 And when my task on earth is done, 
When, by thy grace, the victory 's won, 
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, 
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

623 Patient thankfulness and trust. 
1 Eternal Beam of light divine, 
Fountain of unexhausted love, 



In whom the Father's glories shine, 
Through earth beneath, and heaven 
above ; 

2 Jesus, the weary wanderer's rest, 
Give me thy easy yoke to bear; 

With steadfast patience arm my breast, 
With spotless love and lowly fear. 

3 Thankful I take the cup from thee, 
Prepared and mingled by thy skill ; 

Though bitter to the taste it be, 
Powerful the wounded soul to heal. 

4 Be thou, O Rock of ages, nigh ! 

So shall each murmuring thought be 
gone, 
And grief, and fear, and care shall fly, 
As clouds before the midday sun. 

5 Speak to my warring passions, " Peace ; '• 
Say to my trembling heart, "Be still; " 

Thy power my strength and fortress is, 
For all things serve thy sovereign will. 

6 O Death! where is thy sting? When 

now 
Thy boasted victory, O Grave? 
Who shall contend with God? or who 
Can hurt whom God delights to save?

Then shall I sigh and weep no more : 
My ransomed soul shall soar away, 

To sing thy praise in endless day. 

THOMAS COKE. 

O^O Friend of the friendless. 

1 God of my life, to thee I call ; 
Afflicted, at thy feet I fall ; 

When the great water-floods prevail, 
Leave not my trembling heart to fail. 

2 Friend of the friendless and the faint, 
Where should I lodge my deep complaint? 
Where, but with thee, whose open door 
Invites the helpless and the poor? 



229 



3 Did ever mourner plead with thee, 
And thou refuse that mourner's plea ? 
Does not the promise still remain, 
That none shall seek thy face in vain? 

4 Poor I may be, despised, forgot, 
Yet God, my God, forgets me not ; 
And he is safe, and must succeed, 

For whom the Saviour deigns to plead. 

WILLIAM COWPER. 



O^vD In hope, believing against hope. 

1 Away, my unbelieving fear! 

Fear shall in me no more have place ; 
My Saviour doth not yet appear, 

He hides the brightness of his face; 
But shall I therefore let him go. 

And basely to the tempter yield ? 
No, in the strength of Jesus, no, 

I never will give up my shield. 

2 Although the vine its fruit deny, 
Although the olive yield no oil, 

The withering fig-trees droop and die, 
The fields elude the tiller's toil, 

The empty stall no herd afford, 
And perish all the bleating race, 

Yet will I triumph in the Lord,— 
The God of my salvation praise.

O/Lv/ Blessing for mourners. 

1 Deem not that they are blest alone 
Whose days a peaceful tenor keep ; 

The anointed Son of God makes known 
A blessing for the eyes that weep. 

2 The light of smiles shall fill again 
The lids that overflow with tears ; 

And weary hours of woe and pain 
Are promises of happier years. 

3 There is a day of sunny rest 

For every dark and troubled night : 

And grief may bide an evening guest, 

But joy shall come with early light. 

4 Nor let the good man's trust depart, 
Though life its common gifts deny, 

Though with a pierced and broken heart, 
And spurned of men, he goes to die. 

5 For God has marked each sorrowing day. 
And numbered every secret tear ; 

And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay 
For all his children suffer here. 

WILLIAM C. BEYAXT. 

02c5 Resignation. 

1 Thy will be done ! I will not fear 
The fate provided by thy love ; 

Though clouds and darkness shroud me here, 
I know that all is bright above. 

2 The stars of heaven are shining on, 
Though these frail eyes are dimmed with 

tears ; 
The hopes of earth indeed are gone, 
But are not ours the immortal years ? 



3 Father, forgive the heart that clings, 
Thus trembling, to the things of time ; 

And bid my soul, on angel wings, 
Ascend into a purer clime. 

4 There shall no doubts disturb its trust, 
No sorrows dim celestial love ; 

But these afflictions of the dust, 
Like shadows of the night, remove. 

5 E'en now, above, there 's radiant day, 
While clouds and darkness brood below ; 

Then, Father, joyful on my way 
To drink the bitter cup I go. 

J. BOSCOE. 

0^39 Sympathetic love. 

1 O Love divine, that stooped to share 
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear I 

On thee we cast each earthbcrn care ; 
We smile at pain while thou art near. 

2 Though long the weary way we tread, 
And sorrow crown each lingering year, 

No path we shun, no darkness dread, 
Our hearts still whispering, " Thou art 



3 When drooping pleasure turns to grief, 
And trembling faith is changed to fear, 

The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf, 
Shall softly tell us, "Thou art near!" 

4 On thee we fling our burdening woe, 
O Love divine, forever dear ; 

Content to suffer while we know, 
Living and dying, thou art near!

63 O I* is J; 6e nof afraid.— MM. 14 : 27. 

1 When Power divine, in mortal form, 
Hushed with a word the raging storm, 
In soothing accents Jesus said, 

"Lo! it is I; be not afraid." 

2 So when in silence nature sleeps, 
And lonely watch the mourner keeps, 
One thought shall every pang remove,— 
Trust, feeble man, thy Maker's love. 

3 God calms the tumult and the storm ; 
He rules the seraph and the worm : 

No creature is by him forgot 

Of those who know, or know him not. 

4 And when the last dread hour is come, 
And shuddering nature wait.-, her doom, 
This voice shall wake the pious dead, 
"Lo! it is I; be not afraid." 



E. SMITH. 



Meekness and patience. 



631 

1 Thou Lamb of God, thou Prince of peace, 
For thee my thirsty soul dotti piue ; 

My longing heart implores thy grace; 
O make me in thy likeness shine. 

2 When pain o'er my weak flesh prevails, 
With lamb-like patience arm my breast ; 

When grief my wounded soul assails, 
In lowly meekness may I rest. 

3 Close by thy side still may I keep, 
Howe'er life's various currents flow ; 

With steadfast eye mark every step, 
And follow thee where'er thou go. 



231 



4 Thou, Lord, the dreadful fight hast won ; 
Alone thou hast the wine-press trod ; 

In me thy strengthening grace be shown : 
O may I conquer through thy blood. 

5 So, when on Zion thou shalt stand, 
And all heaven's host adore their King 1 , 

Shall I be found at thy right hand, 
And, free from pain, thy glories sing. 

C. F. BICHl'KA. TE. BY J. WESLEY. 

Du/i Comfort in the promises. 

1 God, to thee we raise our eyes ; 
Calm resignation we implore; 

O let no murmuring thought arise, 
But humbly let us still adore. 

2 With meek submission may we bear 
Each needful cross thou shalt ordain ; 

Nor think our trials too severe, 
Nor dare thy justice to arraign. 

3 For though mysterious now thy ways 
To erring mortals may appear, 

Hereafter we thy name shall praise, 
For all our keenest sufferings here. 

4 Thy needful help, God, afford, 
Nor let us sink in deep despair ; 

Aid us to trust thy sacred word, 
And find our sweetest comfort there. 

CHABLOTTE BICHARDSON. 

Doxology. 
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ; 
Praise him, all creatures here below ; 
Praise him above, ye heavenly host ; 
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

DOO Believers encouraged. 

1 Your barps, ye trembling saints, 
Down from the willows take; 

Loud to tbe praise of love divine 
Bid every string awake. 

2 Though in a foreign land, 
We are not far from home ; 

And nearer to our house above 
We every moment come. 

3 His grace will to the end 

Stronger and brighter shine ; 
Nor present things, nor things to come, 
Shall quench the spark divine. 

4 When we in darkness walk, 
Nor feel the heavenly flame, 

Then is the time to trust our God, 
And rest upon his name. 

5 Soon shall our doubts and fears 
Subside at his control ; 

His loving-kindness shall break through 
The midnight of the soul. 

6 Blest is the man, O God, 
That stays himself on thee ; 

Who wait for thy salvation, Lord, 
Shall thy salvation see. 

AUGUSTUS M. TOPLADY, ALT. BY B. W. NOEL. 

634r With Christ. 

1 Jesus, one word from thee 
Fills my sad soul with peace : 

My griefs are like a tossing sea ; 
They hear thy voice and cease. 

2 Soon as thy pitying face 
Shone through my stormy fears, 



rfcr 



The storm swept by, nor left a trace, 
Save the sweet dew of tears. 

3 And when thou call'st me, Lord, 
Where thickest dangers be, 

Even the waves a path afford; 
I walk the waves with thee. 

4 With thee within my bark 

I'll dare death's threatening tide, 
Nor count the passage strange or dark 
With Jesus by my side. 

5 Dear Lord, thy faithful grace 
I know and I adore : 

What shall it be to see thy face 
In heaven, for evermore ! 

HEKVRY D. GANSE. 



In the Saviour's care. 



635 

1 My spirit, on thy care, 
Blest Saviour, I recline; 

Thou wilt not leave me to despair, 
For thou art Love divine. 

2 In thee I place my trust, 
On thee I calmly rest ; 

I know thee good, I know thee just, 
And count thy choice the best. 

3 Whate'er events betide, 
Thy will they all perform ; 

Safe m thy breast my head I hide, 
Nor fear the coming storm. 

4 Let good or ill befall, 

It must be good for me ; 
Secure of having thee in all, 
Of having all in thee.

1 If, on a quiet sea, 

Toward heaven we calmly sail, 
Witt) grateful hearts, God, to thee, 
We '11 own the favoring gale. 

2 But should the surges rise, 
And rest delay to come, 

Blest he the tempest, kind the storm, 
Which drives us nearer home. 

3 Soon shall our douhts and fears 
All yield to thy control ; 

Thy tender mercies shall illume 
The midnight of the soul. 

4 Teach us, in every state, 
To make thy will our own ; 

And when the joys of sense depart, 
To live hy faith alone.

6o7 My times are in Thy hand.—Fs. 31 : 15. 

1 "My times are in thy hand:" 
My God, I wish them there ; 

My life, my friends, my soul, I leave 
Entirely to thy care. 

2 "My times are in thy hand," 
Whatever they may be ; 

Pleasing or painful, dark or bright, 
As best may seem to thee. 

3 " My times are in thy hand ; " 
Why should I doubt or fear? 

My Father's hand will never cause 
His child a needless tear. 



233 



4 " My times are in thy hand," 
Jesus, the crucified ! 

The hand my cruel sins had pierced 
Is now my guard and guide. 

5 " My times are in thy hand ; " 
I'll alway? trust in thee; 

And, after death, at thy right hand 
I shall forever be. 

WILLIAM F. LLOYD. 

638 Through death to life. 

1 what, if we are Christ's, 
Is earthly shame or loss? 

Bright shall the crown of glory be, 
When we have borne the cross. 

2 Keen was the trial once, 
Bitter the cup of woe, 

When martyred saints, baptized in blood, 
Christ's sufferings shared below. 

3 Bright is their glory now, 
Boundless their joy above, 

Where, on the bosom of their God, 
They rest in perfect love. 

4 Lord, may that grace be ours, 
Like them in faith to bear 

All that of sorrow, grief, or pain, 
May be our portion here. 

5 Enough, if thou at last 
The word of blessing give, 

And let us rest before thy throne, 
Where saints and angels live.

639 No cause for fear 

1 God is my strong salvation , 
What foe'have Tto fear? 

In darkness and temptation, 
My light, my help, is near : 

Though hosts encamp around me, 
Firm in the fight I stand; 

What terror can confound me, 
With God at my right hand ? 

2 Place on the Lord reliance : 
My soul, with courage wait ; 

His truth be thine affiance, 

When faint and desolate : 
His might thy heart shall strengthen, 

His love thy joy increase ; 
Mercv thv days shall lengthen : 

The Lord will give thee peace.

1 O happy band of pilgrims, 
If onward ye will tread, 

With Jesus as your Fellow, 
To Jesus as your Head! 

happy, if ye labor 
As Jesus did for men ; 



happy, if ye hunger 
As Jesus hungered then! 

2 The cross that Jesus carried 
He carried as your due : 

The crown that Jesus weareth 

He weareth it for you. 
The faith by which ye see him, 

The hope in which ye yearn. 
The love that through all trouble 

To him alone will turn,— 

3 What are they but forerunners 
To lead you to his sight? 

What are they save the effluence 

vjf uncreated Light ? 
The trials that beset you, 

The sorrows ye endure, 
The manifold temptations 

That deatn alone can cure,— 

4 What are they but his jewels 
Of right celestial worth? 

What are they but the ladder, 
Set up to heaven on earth? 

happy band of pilgrims, 
Look upward to the skies, 

Where such a light affliction 
Shall win so great a prize.

64rl Peace and joy. 

1 Sometimes a light surprises 
The Christian while he sings ; 

It is the Lord who rises 
With healing on his wings ; 

When comforts are declining, 
He grants the soul again 

A season of clear shining, 
To cheer it after rain. 

2 In holy contemplation, 
We sweetly then pursue 

The theme of God's salvation, 

And find it ever new : 
Set free from present sorrow, 

We cheerfully can say. 
Let the unknown to-morrow 

Bring with it what it may. 

3 It can bring with it nothing 
But he will bear us through; 

Who gives the lilies clothing, 
Will clothe his people too : 

Beneath the spreading heavens 
No creature but is fed ; 

And he who feeds the ravens 
Will give his children bread. 

4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither 
Their wonted fruit should bear, 

Though all the fields should witber, 
Nor flocks nor herds be there ; 

16 



235 



Yet God the same abiding, 
His praise shall tune my voice; 

For while in him confiding, 
I cannot but rejoice- 

WTLLIAM COWP6E. 

u4:<j I trill fear no change. 

1 In heavenly love abiding:. 

No change 'my heart shall fear; 
And safe is such confiding, 

For nothing changes here. 
The storm may roar without me, 

My heart may low be laid. 
But God is round about me, 

And can I be dismayed? 

2 Wherever he may guide me, 
No want shall turn me back; 

My Shepherd is beside me, 

And nothing can I lack. 
His wisdom ever waketh, 

His sight is never dim, 
He knows the way he taketh, 

And I will walk with him. 

3 Green pastures are before me, 
Which yet I have not seen : 

Bright skies will soon be o'er me, 
Where darkest clouds have bee^.. 

My hope I cannot measure, 
My path to life is free,- 

My Saviour has mv treasure, 
And he will walk with me.

1 JESUS, I my cross have taken, 
AH to leave, and follow thee ; 

Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, 
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be: 

Perish every fond ambition, 
All I 've sought, and hoped, and known ; 

Yet how rich is my condition, 
God and heaven are still my own ! 

2 Let the world despise and leave me, 
They have left my Saviour, too ; 

Human hearts and looks deceive me ; 

Thou art not, like man, untrue ; 
And, while thou shalt smile upon me, 

God of wisdom, love, and might, 
Foes may hate, and friends mayshun me; 

Show thy face, and all is bright. 

3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure ! 
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain 1 

In thy service, pain is pleasure ; 

With thy favor, loss is gain. 
I have called thee, "Abba, Father;" 

I have stayed my heart on thee : 
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather. 

All must work for good to me. 



4 Man may trouble and distress me, 
'Twill but drive me to thy breast ; 

Life with trials hard may press me, 
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 

O 'tis cot in grief to harm me, 
While thy love is left to me ; 

'twere not in joy to charm me, 
Were that joy unmixed with thee. 

5 Know, my soul, thy full salvation ; 
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care ; 

Joy to find in every station 
Something still to do or bear. 

Think what Spirit dwells within thee; 
What a Father's smile is thine ; 

What a Saviour died to win thee : 
Child of heaven, shouldst thou iepinei 

6 Haste thee on from grace to glory, 
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer; 

Heaven's eternal day 's before thee, 
God's own hand shall guide thee there. 

Soon shall close thy earthly mission, 
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, 

Hope shall change to glad fruition, 
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Only waiting. 

1 Only waiting, till the shadows 
Are a little longer grown ; 

Only waiting, till the glimmer 
Of the clay's last beam is Sown ; 

Till the light of earth is faded 
From the hearts once full of day ; 

Till the stars of heaven are breaking 
Through the twilight soft and gray. 

2 Only waiting, till the reapers 
Have the last sheaf gathered home ; 

For the summer-time is faded, 
And the autumn winds have come. 

Quickly, reapers, gather quickly 
These last ripe hours of my heart, 

For the bloom of life is withered, 
And I hasten to depart. 

3 Only waiting, till the shadows 
Are a little longer grown ; 

Only waiting, till the glimmer 
Of the day's last beam is flown. 

Then, from out the gathered darkness 
Holy, deathless stars shall rise, 

By whose light my soul shall gladly 
Tread its pathway to the skies.

Seek we, then, for heavenly treasures, 
Treasures never waxing old. 

Let our best affections center 
On the things around the throne : 

There no thief can ever enter; 
Moth and rust are there unknown. 

2 Earthly joys no longer please us ; 
Here would we renounce them all ; 

Seek our only rest in Jesus, 
Him our Lord and Master call. 

Faith, our languid spirits cheering, 
Points to brighter worlds above ; 

Bids us look for his appearing ; 
Bids us triumph in his love. 

3 May our light be always burning, 
And our loins be girded round, 

Waiting for our Lord's returning, 
Longing for the welcome sound. 

Thus the Christian life adorning, 
Never need we be afraid, 

Should he come at night or morning, 
Early dawnj or evening shade.

64:8 Tlie pilgrim's Guide. 

1 Leader of faithful souls, and Guide 
Of all that travel to the sky, 

Come and with us, e'en us, abide, 
Who would on thee alone rely; 
On thee alone our spirits stay, 
While held in life's uneven way. 

2 Strangers and pilgrims here below, 
This earth, we know, is not our place ; 

But hasten through the vale of woe, 
And, restless to behold thy face, 

Swift to our heavenly country move, 

Our everlasting home above. 

S We've no abiding city here, 
But seek a city out of sight; 

Thither our steady course we steer, 
Aspiring to the plains of light, 

Jerusalem, the saints' abode, 

Whose founder is the living God. 

4 Patient the appointed race to run, 
This weary world we cast behind : 

From strength to strength we travel on, 

The New Jerusalem to And : 
Our labor this, our only aim, 
To find the New Jerusalem. 

5 Through thee, who all our sins hast borne, 
Freely and graciously forgiven, 




With songs to Zion we return, 
Contending for our native heaven; 

That palace of our glorious King,— 

We find it nearer while we sing. 

6 Raised by the breath of love divine. 
We urge our way with strength renewed ; 

The church of the first-born to join, 
We travel to the mount of God ; 

With joy upon our heads arise, 

And meet our Saviour in the skies. 

CHABXES WESLEV. 

04rc/ Steadfast reliance. 

1 Though waves and storms go o'er my 

head, 
Though strength, and health, and friends 
be gone ; 
Though joys be withered all, and dead, 
Though every comfort be withdrawn ; 
On this my steadfast soul relies,— 
Father, thy mercy never dies. 

2 Fixed on this ground will I remain, 
Though my heart fail, and flesh decay; 

This anchor shall my soul sustain, 

When earth's foundations melt away; 
Mercy's full power I then shall provei 
Loved with an everlasting love.

1 Jesus, to thee our hearts we lift, — 
Our hearts with love to thee o'erfiow,— 

With thanks for thy continued gift, 

That still thy gracious name we know, 
Retain our sense of sin forgiven, 
And wait for all our inward heaven. 

2 What mighty troubles hast thou shown 
Thy feeble, tempted followers here ! 

We have through Are and water gone, 

But saw thee on the floods appear, 
And felt thee present in the flame, 
And shouted our Deliverer's name. 

3 Thou who hast kept us to this hour, 
keep us faithful to the end, 

When, robed in majesty and power, 

Our Jesus shall from heaven descend, 
His friends and witnesses to own, 
And seat us on his glorious throne ! 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

651 Twill fear no evil.— Vs. 23 : 4. 

1 Peace, doubting heart ! my God's I am : 
Who formed me man forbids my fear ; 



The Lord hath called me by my name ; 

The Lord protects, forever near: 
His blood for me did once atone, 
.And still he loves and guards his own. 

2 When, passing through the watery deep, 
I ask in faith his promised aid, 

The waves an awful distance keep, 

And shrink from my devoted head : 
Fearless, their violence I dare ; 
They cannot harm, for God is there ! 

3 To him mine eye of faith I turn, 
And through the fire pursue my way ; 

The Are forgets its power to burn, 

The lambent flames around me play : 
I own his power, accept the sign, 
And shout to prove the Saviour mine. 

4 Still nigh me, my Saviour, stand, 
And guard in fierce temptation's hour : 

Hide in the hollow of thy hand ; 

Show forth in me thy saving power ; 
Still be thy arms my sure defense, 
Nor earth, nor hell, shall pluck me thence,

If I must weep with thee,

And sing in life or death,

Choose thou for me, my God,

Else I must surely stray. 
Take thou my cup, and it 

With joy or sorrow fill, 
As best to thee may seem ; 

Choose thou my good and ill. 

3 Choose thou for me my friends, 
My sickness or my health ; 

Choose thou my cares for me, 

My poverty or wealth. 
Not mine, not mine the choice, 

In things or great or small ; 
Be thou my guide, my strength, 

My wisdom, and my all.

1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, 
Let me to thy bosom fly, 

"While the nearer waters roll, 
While the tempest still is high 1 

Hide me, my Saviour, hide, 
Till the storm of life is past ; 

Safe into the haven guide, 
O receive my soul at last ! 

2 Other refuge have I none ; 
Hangs my helpless soul on thee 

Leave, leave me not alone, 
Still support and comfort me : 

All my trust on thee is stayed, 
All my help from thee I bring ; 

Cover my defenseless head 
With the shadow of thy wing ! 



3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; 
More than all in thee I And; 

Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, 
Heal the sick, and lead the blind. 

Just and holy is thy name, 
I am all unrighteousness: 

False and full of sin I am, 
Thou art full of truth and grace. 

4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, 
Grace to cover all my sin : 

Let the healing streams abound ; 

Make and keep me pure within. 
Thou of life the fountain art, 

Freely let me take of thee : 
Spring thou up within my heart, 

Rise to all eternity.

DO/ Bliss-inspiring hope. 

1 Come on, my partners in distress, 
My comrades through the wilderness, 

Who still your bodies feel ; 
Awhile forget your griefs and fears, 
And look beyond this vale of tears, 

To that celestial hill. 

2 Beyond the bounds of time and space, 
Look forward to that heavenly place, 

The saints' secure abode ; 
On faith's strong eagle pinions rise, 
And force your passage to the skies, 

And scale the mount of God. 

3 Who suffer with our Master here, 
We shall before his face appear 

And by his side sit down ; 
To patient faith the prize is sure, 
And all that to the end endure 

The cross, shall wear the crown. 

4 Thrice blessed, bliss-inspiring hope ! 
It lifts the fainting spirits up, 

It brings to life the dead : 
Our conflicts here shall soon be past, 
And you and I ascend at last, 

Triumphant with our Head. 



5 That great mysterious Deity 
We soon with open face shall see ; 

The beatific sight 
Shall fill the heavenly courts with praise, 
And wide diffuse the golden blaze 
• Of everlasting light. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

0£)0 The aged pilgrim. 

1 Thy mercy heard my infant prayer ; 
Thy love, with all a mother's care, 

Sustained my childish days : , 

Thy goodness watched my ripening youth, 
And formed my heart to love thy truth, 

And filled my lips with praise. 

2 And now, in age and grief, thy name 
Doth still my languid heart inflame, 

And bow my faltering knee : 
yet this bosom feels the Are ; 
This trembling hand and drooping lyre 

Have yet a strain for thee ! 

3 Yes; broken, tuneless, still, Lord, 
This voice, transported, shall record 

Thy goodness, tried so long ; 
Till, sinking slow, with calm decay, 
Its feeble murmurs melt away 

Into a seraph's song.

UOJ Heavenly rest anticipated. 

1 When I can read my title clear 
To mansions in the skies, 

1 bid farewell to every fear, 
And wipe my weeping eyes. 

2 Should earth against my soul engage, 
And fiery darts be hurled. 

Then I can smile at Satan's rage, 
And face a frowning world. 

3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, 
Let storms of sorrow fall, 

So I but safely reach my home, 
My God, my heaven, my all. 

4 There I shall bathe my weary soul 
In seas of heavenly rest, 

And not a wave of trouble roll 
Across my peaceful breast. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

DOU God's pavilion. 

1 Grant me within thy courts a place, 
Among thy saints a seat, 

Forever to behold thy face, 
And worship at thy feet;— 

2 In thy pavilion to abide, 
When storms of trouble blow, 

And in thy tabernacle hide, 
Secure from every foe. 

3 " Seek ye my face ! " Without delay, 
When thus I hear thee speak. 

My heart would leap for joy, and say, 
"Thy face, Lord, will I seek." 

4 Then leave me not when griefs assail, 
And earthly comforts flee ; 

When father, mother, kindred fail. 
My God, remember me ! 



Uul Fullness of joy in His presence. 

1 Thy gracious presence, O my God, 
All that I wish contains ; 

With this, beneath affliction's load, 
My heart no more complains. 

2 This can my every care control, 
Gild each dark scene with light: 

This is the sunshine of the soul ; 
Without it all is night. 

3 happy scenes above the sky, 
Where thy full beams impart 

Unclouded beauty to the eye, 
And rapture to the heart I 

4 Her portion in those realms of bliss, 
My spirit longs to know ; 

My wishes terminate in this, 
Nor can they rest below. 

5 Lord, shall the breathings of my heart 
Aspire in vain to thee? 

Confirm my hope, that where thou art 
I shall forever be. 

6 Then shall my cheerful spirit sing 
The darksome hours away, 

And rise, on faith's expanded wing, 
To everlasting day.

v30^ Vanity of earthly enjoyments. 

1 How vain are all things here below ! 
How false, and yet how fair ! 

Each pleasure hath its poison too, 
And every sweet a snare. 

2 The brightest things below the sky 
Give but a nattering light; 

We should suspect some danger nigh, 
Where we possess delight. 

3 Our dearest joys, and nearest friends, 
The partners of our blood,— 

How they divide our wavering minds, 
And leave but half for God ! 

4 The fondness of a creature's love,— 
How strong it strikes the sense ! 

Thither the warm affections move, 
Nor can we call them thence. 

5 My Saviour, let thy beauties be 
My soul's eternal food ; 

And grace command my heart away 
From all created good.

DUO Radiant hope. 

1 O who, in such a world as this, 
Could bear his lot of pain, 

Did not one radiant hope of bliss 
Unclouded yet remain? 

2 That hope the sovereign Lord has given 
Who reigns above the skies ; 

Hope that unites the soul to heaven 
By faith's endearing ties. 

3 Each care, each ill of mortal birth, 
Is sent in pitying love, 

To lift the lingering heart from earth, 
And speed its flight above. 

4 And every pang that wrings the breast, 
And every joy that dies, 

Bid us to seek a purer rest, 
And trust to holier ties.

1 My span of life will soon be done, 
The passing moments say ; 



As lengthening shadows o'er the mead 
Proclaim the close of day. 

2 that my heart might dwell aloof 
From all created things, 

And learn that wisdom from above, 
Whence true contentment springs ! 

3 Courage, my soul ! thy bitter cross, 
In every trial here, 

Shall bear thee to thy heaven above, 
But shall not enter there. 

4 The sighing ones, that humbly seek 
In sorrowing paths below, 

Shall in eternity rejoice, 
Where endless comforts flow. 

5 Soon will the toilsome strife be o'er 
Of sublunary care, 

And life's dull vanities no more 
This anxious breast ensnare. 

6 Courage, my soul ! on God rely ; 
Deliverance soon will come ; 

A thousand ways has Providence 
To bring believers home. 

FRANCES M. COWPEB. 

(365 De profundus. 

1 Out of the depths to thee I cry, 
Whose fainting footsteps trod 

The paths of our humanity, 
Incarnate Son of God ! 

2 Thou Man of grief, who once apart 
Didst all our sorrows bear, — 

The trembling hand, the fainting heart, 
The agony, and prayer ! 

3 Is this the consecrated dower, 
Thy chosen ones obtain, 

To know thy resurrection power 
Through fellowship of pain? 

4 Then, my soul, in silence wait ; 
Faint not, faltering feet ; 

Press onward to that blest estate, 
In righteousness complete. 

5 Let faith transcend the passing hour, 
The transient pain and strife. 

Upraised by an immortal power,— 
The power of endless life.

But, in the hour of grief or pain,

When tempests rage without ; 

That when in danger knows no fear, 
In darkness feels no doubt ; 

4 That bears, unmoved, the world's dread 

frown, 
Nor heeds its scornful smile ; 
That seas of trouble cannot drown, 
Nor Satan's arts beguile ;

Till life's last hour is fled, 

And with a pure and heavenly ray 
Illumes a dying bed.

For, if thy work on earth be sweet, 
What will thy glory be ? 

5 Then I shall end my sad complaints, 
And weary, sinful days, 

And join with the triumphant saints 
Who sing Jehovah's praise. 

6 My knowledge of that life is small ; 
The eye of faith is dim ; 

But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, 
And I shall be with him. 

RICHARD BAXTER. 

O/O Christ strengthening the weak. 

1 Thou, whose filmed and failing eye, 
Ere yet it closed in death, 

Beheld thy mother's agony. 
The shameful cross beneath ! 

2 Remember them, like her, through whom 
The sword of grief is driven, 



And 0, to cheer their cheerless gloom, 
Be thy dear mercy given. 

3 Let thine own word of tenderness 
Drop on them from above ; 

Its music shall the lone heart bless, 
Its touch shall heal with love. 

4 Son of Mary, Son of God, 
The way of mortal ill, 

By thy blest feet in triumph trod, 
Our feet are treading still. 

5 But not with strength like thine, we go 
This dark and dreadful way ; 

As thou wert strengthened in thy woe, 
So strengthen us, we pray. 

ALr-XAADERK. THOMPSON. 

(S'/'l Blessed are they that mourn. 
W ' Matt. 5 : 4. 

1 From lips divine, like healing balm 
To hearts oppressed and torn, 

The heavenly consolation fell, 
''Blessed are they that mourn." 

2 Unto the hopes by sorrow crushed 
A noble faith succeeds; 

And life, by trials furrowed, bears 
The fruit of loving deeds. 

3 How rich, how sweet, how full of 

strength 
Our human spirits are, 
Baptized into the sanctities 
Of suffering and of prayer ! 

4 Yes, heavenly wisdom, love divine, 
Breathed through the lips which said. 

"0 blessed are the hearts that mourn ; 
They shall be comforted."

1 Commit thou all thy jriicfs 
And ways into His hands, 

To his sure trust and tender care 
Who earth and heaven commands. 

2 Who points the clouds their course, 
Whom winds and seas obey, 

He shall direct thy wandering feet, 
He shall prepare thy way. 

3 Thou on the Lord rely, 
So, safe, shalt thou go on ; 

Fix on his work thy steadfast eye, 
So shall thy work be done. 

4 No profit canst thou gain 
By self-consuming care ; 

To him commend thy cause ; his ear 
Attends the softest prayer. 

5 Thy everlasting truth, 
Father, thv ceaseless love, 

Sees all thy children's wants, and knows 
What best for each will prove. 

6 Thou every-where hast sway, 
And all things serve thy might ; 

Thy every act pure blessing is, 
Thy path unsullied light.

SECOND PART. 

G73 He ruleth all things ivell. 

1 Give to the winds thy fears ; 
Hope, and be undismayed ; 

God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears; 
God shall lift up thy head. 

2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, 
He gently clears thy way ; 



Wait thou his time, so shah this night 
Soon end in joyous day. 

3 Still heavy is thy heart ? 
Still sink thy spirits down? 

Cast off the weight, let fear depart, 
And every care be gone. 

4 What though thou rulest not? 
Yet heaven, and earth, and bell 

Proclaim, " God sitteth on the throne, 
And ruleth all things well." 

5 Leave to his sovereign sway 
To choose and to command : 

So shalt thou, wondering, own his way, 
How wise, how strong his hand ! 

6 Far, far above thy thought 
His counsel shall appear, 

When fully he the work hath wrought 
That caused thy needless fear.

1 Thou Refuge of my soul, 
On thee, when sorrows rise, 

On thee, when waves of trouble roll, 
My fainting hope relies. 

2 To thee I tell my grief, 
For thou alone canst heal ; 

Thy word can bring a sweet relief 
For every pain I feel. 

3 But when doubts prevail, 
I fear to call thee mine ; 

The springs of comfort seem to fail, 
And all my hopes decline. 

4 Yet, Lord, where shall I flee? 
Thou art my only trust ; 

And still my soul would cleave to thee, 
Though prostrate in the dust.

/ O Contented piety. 

1 Father, I know that all my life 
Is portioned out for me ; 

And the changes that are sure to come 

I do not fear to see ; 
But I ask thee for a present mind 

Intent on pleasing thee. 

2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love, 
Through constant watching wise, 

To meet the glad with joyful smiles, 
And wipe the weeping eyes; 

And a heart at leisure from itself, 
To soothe and sympathize. 

3 I would not have the restless will 
That hurries to and fro, 

Seeking for some great thing to do, 

Or secret thing to know ; 
I would be treated as a child, 

And guided where I go. 

4 Wherever in the world I am, 
In whatsoe'er estate, 

I have a fellowship with hearts, 

To keep and cultivate ; 
And a work of lowly love to do 

For the Lord on whom I wait. 

5 So I ask thee for the daily strength. 
To none that ask denied, 

And a mind to blend with outward life, 

While keeping at thy side ; 
Content to fill a little space, 

If thou be glorified. 



6 And if some things I do not ask 

In my cup of blessing be, 
I would have my spirit filled the more 

With grateful love to thee; 
More careful, not to serve thee much, 

But to please thee perfectly. 

ANNA L. WABIMi. 

4 O Go not far from me, O my Strength. 

1 Go not far from me, O my Strength, 
Whom all my times obey ; 

Take from me any thing thou wilt, 

But go not thou away ; 
And let the storm that does thy work 

Deal with me as it may. 

2 No suffering, while it lasts, is joy, 
How blest soe'er it be ; 

Yet may the chastened child be glad 

His Father's face to see ; 
And 0, it is not hard to bear 

What must be borne in thee. 

3 Safe in thy sanctifying grace, 
Almighty to restore ; 

Borne onward, sin and death behind, 

And love and life before, 
O let my soul abound in hope, 

And praise thee more and more I 

4 Deep unto deep may call, but I 
With peaceful heart will say, 

"Thy loving-kindness hath a charge 

No waves can take away ; " 
And let the storm that speeds me home, 

Deal with me as it ma v.

My soul disdains to fear ;

And shield me with thy power.

1 Read of the Church triumphant, 
We joyfully adore thee ; 

Till thou appear, thy members here 
Shall sing like those in glory: 

"We lift our hearts and voices 
With blest anticipation: 

And cry aloud, and give to God 
The praise of our salvation. 

2 Thou dost conduct thy people 
Through torrents of temptation ; 

Nor will we fear, while thou art near, 

The fire of tribulation : 
The world, with sin and Satan, 

In vain our march opposes ; 
By thee we shall break through them all, 

And sing the song of Moses. 

3 By faith we see the glory 

To which thou shalt restore us: 
The cross despise for that high prize 

Which thou hast set before us : 
And if thou count us worthy, 

We each, as dying Stephen. 
Shall see thee stand at God's right hand, 

To take us up to heaven.

Of trouble, I mournfully cry; 

And pine to recover my peace, 
And see my Redeemer, and die.

These passionate longings for home; 
O when shall my spirit be there? 
O when will the messenger come? 

2 Thy nature 1 long to put on, 
Thine image on earth to regain ; 

And then in the grave to lay down 
This burden of body and pain. 

O Jesus, in pity draw' near, 
And lull me to sleep on thy breast. 

Appear, to my rescue appear, 
And gather me into thy rest ! 

3 To take a poor fugitive in, 
The arms of thy mercy display, 

And give me to rest from all sin, 
And bear me triumphant away; 

Away from a world of distress, 
Away to the mansions above; 

The heaven of seeing thy face. 
The heaven of feeling "thy love.

084: 77ie mercy-seat. 

1 From every stormy wind that blows, 
From every swelling tide of woes, 
There is a calm, a sure retreat : 

'TLs found beneath the mercy-seat. 

2 There is a place where Jesus sheds 
The oil of gladness on our heads ; 

A place than all besides more sweet : 
It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 

3 There is a scene where spirits blend, 
Where friend holds fellowship with friend : 
Though sundered far, by faith they meet 
Around one common mercy-seat. 

4 Ah ! whither could we flee for aid, 
When tempted, desolate, dismayed ; 
Or how the hosts of hell defeat, 
Had suffering saints no mercy-seat? 

5 There, there on eagle wings we soar, 
And sin and sense molest no more ; 
And heaven comes down our souls to 

greet, 
While glory crowns the mercy-seat. 

HUGH STOWELL. 

DOO Dedication to the Lord. 

1 Lord, thy heavenly grace impart, 
And fix my frail, inconstant heart ; 
Henceforth my chief desire shall be 
To dedicate myself to thee. 

2 Whate'er pursuits my time employ. 
One thought shall fill my soul with joy : 
That silent, secret thought shall be, 
That all my hopes are fixed on thee. 

3 Thy glorious eye pervadeth space ; 
Thy presence, Lord, fills every place ; 



254 



And wheresoe'er my lot may be, 
Still shall my spirit cleave to thee. 
4 Renouncing every worldly thing, 
And safe beneath thy spreading wino:, 
My sweetest thought henceforth shall be, 
That all I want I find in thee.

On whom I cast my every care,

Inspire, and then accept, my pra}-er. 

2 If I have tasted of thy grace, 

The grace that sure salvation brings ; 
If with me now thy Spirit stays, 
And, hovering, hides me in his wings ; 

3 Still let him with my weakness stay, 
Nor for a moment's space depart ; 

Evil and danger turn away, 
And keep till he renews my heart. 

4 If to the right or left I stray, 
His voice behind me mav I hear, 

"Return, and walk in Christ, thy Wav; 
Fly back to Christ, for sin is near ! "

In death our everlasting prize.

Duo Sweet hour of prayer. 

1 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of 

prayer, 
That calls me from a world of care, 
And bids me, at my Father's throne, 
Make all my wants and wishes known ! 
In seasons of distress and grief, 
My soul has often found relief , 
And oft escaped the tempter's snare, 
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 

2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of 

prayer, 
Thy wings shall my petition hear 
To Him, whose truth and faithfulness 
Engage the waiting soul to bless: 
And since he bids me seek his face, 
Believe his word, and trust his grace, 
I '11 cast on him my every care, 
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer. 

3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of 

prayer, 
May I thy consolation share, 
Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height, 
|l view my home, and take my flight : 
This robe of flesh I '11 drop, and rise, 
To seize the everlasting prize ; 
And shout, while passing through the air, 
Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer ! 

WILLIAM W. WALFOKD. 

Do9 Design of prayer. 

1 Prayer is appointed to convey 

The blessings God designs to give : 
Long as they Live should Christians pray ; 

They learn to pray when first they live. 



255 



2 If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress ; 
If cares distract, or fears dismay ; 

If guilt deject, if sin distress; 
In every case, still watch and pray. 

3 'Tis prayer supports the soul that 's weak, 
Though thought be broken, language 

lame; 
Pray, if thou canst or canst not speak ; 
But pray with faith in Jesus' name. 

4 Depend on him ; thou canst not fail ; 
Make all thy wants and wishes known ; 

Fear not ; his merits must prevail : 
Ask but in faith, it shall be done. 

JOSEPH HAKT. 



by(J Blessings of prayer. 

1 What various hindrances we meet 
In coming to a mercy-seat ! 

Tet who that knows the worth of prayer, 
But wishes to be often there? 

2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud with 

draw; 
Prayer clirubs the ladder Jacob saw ; 
Gives exercise to faith and love ; 
Brings every blessing from above. 

3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight : 
Prayer keeps the Christian's armor bright ; 
And Satan trembles when he sees 

The weakest saint upon his knees. 

4 Were half the breath that 's vainly spent, 
To heaven in supplication sent, 

Our cheerful song would oftener be, 
"Hear what the Lord has done for me.'

And long to feast upon thee still ;

Where'er our changeful lot is cast; 

Glad, when thy gracious smile we see,

And warble to the silent night. 

2 When anxious cares would break my rest, 
And griefs would tear my throbbing breast, 
Thy tuneful praises, raised on high, 

Shall check the murmur and the sigh. 

3 When death o'er nature shall prevail, 
And all my powers of language fail, 



256 



Joy through my swimming eyes shall break, 
And mean the thanks I cannot speak. 

4 But O, when that last conflict's o'er, 
And I am chained to earth no more, 
With what glad accents shall I rise 
To join the music of the skies! 

5 Soon shall I learn the exalted strains 
Which echo o'er the heavenly plains; 
And emulate, with joy unknown, 

The glowing seraphs round thy throne. 

6 The cheerful tribute will I give, 
Long as a deathless soul can live: 
A work so sweet, a theme so high, 
Demands and crowns eternity 1 

PHILIP DODDRIDGE. 

DaO His loving kindness better than life. 

1 O God, thou art my God alone ; 

Early to thee my soul shall cry; 
A pilgrim in a land unknown, 
A thirsty land, whose springs are dry. 

2 Thee, in the watches of the night, 
When I remember on my bed, 

Thy presence makes the darkness light ; 
Thy guardian wings are round my head. 

3 Better than life itself, thy love ; 
Dearer than all beside to me ; 

For whom have I in heaven above, 
Or what on earth, compared with thee? 

4 Praise wiih my heart, my mind, my voice. 
For all thy mercy I will give ; 

My soul shall still in God rejoice, 
My tongue shall bless thee while I live.

I shall be satisfied, when I awake, 
with Thy likeness. 

1 Lord Jesus Christ, my Life, my Light, 
My strength by day, my trust by night, 
On earth I 'm but a passing guest, 

And sorely by my sins oppressed. 

2 let thy sufferings give me power 
To meet the last and darkest hour, 
Thy cross, the staff whereon I lean. 

My couch, the grave where thou hast been. 

3 Since thou hast died, the pure, the just, 
I take my homeward way in trust ; 

The gates of heaven, Lord, open wide, 
When here I may no more abide. 

4 And when the last great day is come, 
And thou, our Judge, shalt speak the doom. 
Let me with joy behold the light, 

And set me then upon thy right. 

5 Renew this wasted flesh of mine, 
That like the sun it there may shine 
Among the angels pure and bright, 
Yea, like thyself, in glorious light. 

6 Ah, then I have my heart's desire. 
When, singing with the angels' choir, 
Among the ransomed of thy grace, 

• Forever I behold thy face. 

M. BEHEMB. TB.. BY MISS C. WLNKW ORTH. 

(3 9 O The fairest of the fair. 

1 Though all the world my choice deride, 
Yet Jesus shall my portion be ; 

For I am pleased with none beside ; 
The fairest of the fair is he. 



2 Sweet is the vision of thy face. 
And kindness o'er thy lips is shed ; 

Lovely art thou, and full of grace, 
And glory beams around thy head. 

3 Thy sufferings I embrace with thee, 
Thy poverty and shameful cross ; 

The pleasures of the world I flee, 
And deem its treasures only dross. 

4 Be daily dearer to my heart, 
And ever let me feel thee near; 

Then willingly with all I 'd part, 
Nor count it worthy of a tear. 

GtBHAED TEESTEESEN. 



At home with God anywhere. 



696 

1 My Lord, how full of sweet content, 
I pass my years of banishment ! 
Where'er I dwell, I dwell with thee, 
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 
To me remains nor place nor time ; 
My country is in every clime : 

1 can be calm and free from care 
On any shore, since God is there. 

2 While place we seek, or place we shun, 
The soul finds happiness in none; 

hut with a God to guide our way, 
'Tis equal joy, to go or stay. 
Could I be cast where thou art not, 
That were indeed a dreadful lot; 
But regions none remote I call, 
Secure of finding God in all.

1 Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb, 
I love to hear of thee ; 

No music 's like thy charming name, 
Nor half so sweet can be. 

2 O let me ever hear thy voice

In thee, my Priest, will I rejoice, 
And thy salvation seek.

And called the stars my own,

And grasp in all the shore ; 

Grant me the visits of thy grace, 
And I desire no more.

Send down thy grace, blessed Lord, 
That I may love thee more. 

3 My feet shall travel all the length 
Of the celestial road ; 

And march, with courage in thy strength 
To see the Lord my God.

And entertain the darkest hours, 
Nor think the season long,

700 The sweetest name, 

1 Jesus, the very thought of thee 
"With sweetness fills the breast ; 

But sweeter far thy face to see, 
And in thy presence rest. 

2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame, 
Nor can the memory find 

A sweeter sound than Jesus' name, 
The Saviour of mankind. 

3 Hope of every contrite heart, 
Joy of all the meek, 

To those who ask, how kind thou art ! 
How good to those who seek ! 

4 But what to those who find? Ah, this 
Nor tongue nor pen can show : 

The love of Jesus, what it is, 
None but his loved ones know. 

5 Jesus, our only joy be thou, 
As thou our prize wilt be ; 

In thee be all our glory now, 
And through eternity. 



BERNARD OF

SECOND PART. 

7U1 The conqueror renowned. 

1 O Jesus, King most wonderful, 
Thou Conqueror renowned, 

Thou sweetness most ineffable, 
In whom all joys are found ! 

2 When once thou visitest the heart, 
Then truth begins to shine, 

Then earthly vanities depart, 
Then kindles love divine. 



259 



3 O Jesus, Light of all below, 
Thou Fount of living fire, 

Surpassing all the joys we know, 
And all we can desire ! 

4 Jesus, may all confess thy name, 
Thy wondrous love adore, 

And, seeking thee, themselves inflame 
To seek thee more and more. 

5 Thee, Jesus, may our voices bless ; 
Thee may we love alone ; 

And ever in our lives express 
The image of thine own. 

BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX. TR. BY E. CASWALL. 



THIRD PART. 

/ KJf^i The King in his beauty. 

1 O Jesus, thou the beauty art 
Of angel-worlds above ; 

Thy name is music to the heart, 
Inflaming it with love. 

2 O Jesus, Saviour, hear the sighs 
Which unto thee we send ; 

To thee our inmost spirit cries, 
To thee our prayers ascend. 

3 Abide with us, and let thy light 
Shine, Lord, on every heart ; 

Dispel the darkness of our night, 
And joy to all impart. 

4 Jesus, our love and joy ! to thee, 
The Virgin's holy Son, 

All might, and praise, and glory be, 
While endless ages run !

7Ud jfAc rapture of love. 

1 'tis delight without alloy, 
Jesus, to hear thy name : 

My spirit leaps with inward joy ; 
I feel the sacred flame. 

2 My passions hold a pleasing reign, 
When love inspires my breast, — 

Love, the divinest of the train, 
The sovereign of the rest. 

3 This is the grace must live and sing, 
When faith and hope shall cease, 

And sound from every joyful string 
Through all the realms of bliss. 

4 Swift I ascend the heavenly place, 
And hasten to my home ; 

I leap to meet thy kind embrace ; 
I come, Lord, I come. 

5 Sink down, ye separating hills! 
Let sin and death remove ; 

'Tis love that drives my chariot wheels, 
And death must yield to love. 



ISAAC WATTS. 



7 O 4: Triumphant joy. 

1 My God, the spring of all my joys, 
The life of my delights, 

The glory of my brightest clays, 
And comfort of my nights ! 

2 In darkest shades, if thou appear, 
My dawning is begun ; 

Thou art my soul's bright morning star, 
And thou my rising sun. 



3 The opening heavens around me shine 
With beams of sacred bliss, 

If Jesus shows his mercy mine, 
And whispers I am his. 

4 My soul would leave this heavy clay 
At that transporting word, 

Run up with joy the shining way, 
TO see and praise my Lord. 

5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death, 
I 'd break through every foe ; 

The wings of love and arms of faith 
Would bear me conqueror through. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



/OO Perpetual praise. 

1 Yes, I will bless thee, O my God, 
Through all my fleeting days ; 

And to eternity prolong 
Thy vast, thy boundless praise. 

2 Nor shall my tongue alone proclaim 
The honors of my God ; 

My life, with all its active powers, 
Shall spread thy praise abroad. 

3 Nor will I cease thy praise to sing 
When death shall close mine eyes : 

My thoughts shail then to nobler heights 
And sweeter raptures rise. 

4 Then shall my lips, in endless praise, 
Their grateful tribute pay; 

The theme demands an angel's tongue, 
And an eternal day.

706 prayer. 

1 Prayer is the breath of God in roan, 
Returning whence it came ; 

Love is the sacred fire within, 
And prayer the rising flame. 

2 It gives the burdened spirit ease, 
And soothes the troubled breast ; 

Yields comfort to the mourners here, 
And to the weary rest. 

3 When God inclines the heart to pray, 
He hath an ear to hear ; 

To him there 's music in a groan, 
And beauty in a tear. 

4 The humble suppliant cannot fail 
To have his wants supplied, 

Since He for sinners intercedes, 
Who once for sinners died. 

BENJAMIN BEDDOME. 

707 Prayer moves Omnipotence. 

1 There is an eye that never sleeps 
Beneath the wing of night ; 

There is an ear that never shuts, 
When sink the beams of light. 

2 There is an arm that never tires, 
When human strength gives way ; 

There is a love that never fails, 
When earthly loves decay. 

3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs ; 
That arm upholds the sky ; 

That ear is filled with angel songs; 
That love is throned on high. 

power which man can 



4 But there 's 
wield, 
When mortal aid is vain 



That eye, that arm, that love to reach, 
That listening ear to gain. 

5 That power is prayer, which soars cm 
high, 
Through Jesus, to the throne, 
And moves the hand which moves the 
world, 
To bring salvation down. 



708 The two worlds. 

1 Unveil, Lord, and on us shine 
In glory and in grace ; 

The gaudy world grows pale before 
The beauty of thy face. 

2 Till thou art seen, it seems to be 
A sort of fairy ground, 

Where suns unsetting light the sky, 
And flowers and fruits abound. 

3 But when thy keener - , purer beam 
Is poured upon our sight, 

It loses all its power to charm, 
And what was day is night. 

4 Its noblest toils are then the scourge 
Which made thy blood to flow ; 

Its joys are but the treacherous thorns 
Which circled round thy brow. 

5 And thus, when we renounce for thee 
Its restless aims and fears, 

The tender memories of the past, 
The hopes of coming years,— 

6 Poor is our sacrifice, whose eyes 
Are lighted from above ; 

We offer what we cannot keep, 
What we have ceased to love.

709 Evening— solitude. 

1 I love to steal awhile away 
From every cumbering care. 

And spend the hours of setting day 
In humble, grateful prayer. 

2 I love in solitude to shed 
The penitential tear, 

And all his promises to plead 
Where noue but God can hear. 

3 I love to think on mercies past, 
And future good implore, 

And all my cares and sorrows cast 
On him whom I adore. 

4 I love by faith to take a view 
Of brighter scenes in heaven ; 

The prospect doth my strength renew, 
While here by tempests driven. 

5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, 
May its departing ray 

fL 1 calm as this impressive hour, 
And lead to endless day. 

MRS. PHOEBE H. BROWN. 

710 What is prayer ? 

1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, 
Uttered or unexpressed ; 

The motion of a hidden fire 
That trembles in the breast. 

2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, 
The falling of a tear, 

The upward glancing of an eye, 
When none but God is near. 

3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech 
That infant lips can try; 



Prayer the sublimest strains that reach 
The Majesty on high. 

4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, 
Returning from his ways ; 

While angels in their songs rejoice 
And cry, "Behold, he prays! " 

5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, 
The Christian's native air, 

His watchword at the gates of death ; 
He enters heaven with prayer. 

6 Thou, by whom we come to God, 
The Life, the- Truth, the Way; 

The path of prayer thyself hast trod : 
Lord, teach us how to pray ! 

JAMES MONTGOMERY. 

/ JL_L Communion with God. 

1 Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream 
In earnest pleading flows ; 

Devotion dwells upon the theme, 
And warm and warmer glows. 

2 Faith grasps the blessing she desires ; 
Hope points the upward gaze ; 

And Love, celestial Love, inspires 
The eloquence of praise. 

3 But sweeter far the still small voice, 
Unheard by human ear, 

When God has made the heart rejoice, 
And dried the bitter tear. 

4 No accents flow, no words ascend ; 
All utterance faileth there; 

But God himself doth comprehend 
And answer silent prayer.

712 Talking with God. 

1 Talk with us, Lord, thyself reveal, 
While here o'er earth we rove ; 

Speak to our hearts, and let us feel 
The kindling of thy love. 

2 With thee conversing, we forget 
All time, and toil, and care ; 

Labor is rest, and pain is sweet, 
If thou, my God, art here. 

3 Here, then, my God, vouchsafe to stay, 
And bid my heart rejoice ; 

My bounding heart shall own thy sway, 
And echo to thy voice. 

4 Thou callest me to seek thy face,— 
'Tis all I wish to seek ; 

To attend the whispers of thy grace, 
And hear thee inly speak. 

5 Let this my every hour employ, 
Till I thy glory see ; 

Enter into my Master's joy, 
And find my heaven in thee.

Retirement and meditation. 



713 

1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee, 
From strife and tumult far ; 

From scenes where Satan wages still 
His most successful war. 

2 The calm retreat, the silent shade, 
With prayer and praise agree, 

And seem by thy sweet bounty made 
For those who follow thee. 

3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul, 
And grace her mean abode, 

with what peace, and joy, and love, 
Does she commune with God ! 

4 Author and Guardian of my life, 
Sweet Source of light divine, 

And all harmonious names in one, 
My Saviour ! thou art mine ! 

5 The thanks I owe thee, and the love, 
A boundless, endless store, 

Shall echo through the realms above 
When time shall be no more. 

WILLIAM COWPEK. 

I /"1 Zl_ Wlwm having not seen, ye love. 
1 Pet. 1 : 8. 

1 Jesus, these eves have never seen 
That radiant form of thine ; 

The veil of sense hangs dark between 
Thy blessed face and mine. 

2 I see thee not, I hear thee not, 
Yet art thou oft with me ; 



And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot 
As where I meet with thee. 

3 Like some bright dream that comes un- 

sought 
When slumbers o'er me roll, 
Thine image ever fills my thought, 
And charms my ravished soul. 

4 Yet though I have not seen, and still 
Must rest in faith alone, 

I love thee, dearest Lord, and will, 
Unseen, but not unknown. 

5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, 
And still this throbbing heart, 

The rending veil shall thee reveal, 
All-glorious as thou art. 

KAY PALMER, 



/_L«I) Pray without ceasing. 

1 Shepherd Divine, our wants relieve 
In this our evil day ; 

To all thy tempted followers give 
The power to watch and pray. 

2 Long as our fiery trials last, 
Long as the cross we bear, 

let our souls on thee be cast 
In never-ceasing prayer. 

3 Till thou thy perfect love impart, 
Till thou thyself bestow, 

Be this the cry of every heart, 
"I will not let thee go ; 

4 " I will not let thee go, unless 
Thou tell thy name to me, 

With all thy great salvation bless, 
And make me all like thee. 

5 "Then let me on the mountain -top 
Behold thy open face, 

Where faith in sight is swallowed up, 
And prayer in endless praise." 

CHAfilES WEST.EY. 



716 The Lord's Prayer. 

1 Our Father, God, who art in heaven, 
All hallowed be thy name ; 

Thy kingdom come ; thy will be done 
In heaven and earth the same. 

2 Give us this day our daily bread ; 
And as we those forgive 

Who sin against us, so may we 
Forgiving grace receive. 

3 Into temptation lead us not ; 
From evil set us free ; 

And thine the kingdom, thine the power 
And glory, ever be.

1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, 
Jesus loves to answer prayer; 

He himself invites thee near, 
Bids thee ask him, waits to hear. 

2 Lord, I come to thee for rest; 
Take possession of my breast ; 

There thy blood-bought right maintain, 
And without a rival reign. 

3 While I am a pilgrim here, 
Let thy love my spirit cheer ; 

As my guide, my guard, my friend, 
Lead me to my journey's end. 

4 Show me what I have to do; 
Every hour my strength renew ; 
Let me live a life of faith, 

Let me die thy people's death.

7^1 Christ, the source of every blessing. 

1 Christ, of all my hopes the ground, 
Christ, the spring of all my joy, 

Still in thee may 1 be found, 
Still for thee iny powers employ. 

2 Fountain of o'erflowing grace, 
Freely from thy fullness give ; 

Till I close my earthly race, 
May I prove it " Christ to live!" 



m 



3 Firmly trusting in thy blood, 
Nothing shall my heart confound ; 

Safely I shall pass the flood, 
Safely reach lmmanuel's ground. 

4 When I touch the blessed shore, 
Back the closing waves shall roll, 

Death's dark stream shall nevermore 
Part from thee my ravished soul. 

5 Thus, thus an entrance give 
To the land of cloudless sky ; 

Having known it " Christ to live," 
Let me know it "Gain to die." 

RALPH WARDLAW. 

/ /O £ For humility and protection. 

1 God of love, who hearest prayer, 
Kindly for thy people care, 

Who on thee alone depend : 
Love us, save us to the end. 

2 Save us, in the prosperous hour, 
From the flattering tempter's power, 
From his unsuspected wiles, 

From the world's pernicious smiles. 

3 Save us from the great and wise, 
Till they sink in their own eyes, 
Tamely to thy yoke submit, 

Lay their honor at thy feet. 

4 Never let the world break in ; 
Fix a mighty gulf between ; 
Keep us little and unknown, 
Prized and loved by God alone. 

5 Let us still to thee look up, 

Thee, thy Israel's strength and hope ; 
Nothing know, or seek, beside 
Jesus, and him crucified.

723 The Litany. 

1 Saviour, when, in dust, to thee 
Low we bend the adoring knee ; 
When, repentant, to the skies 
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes ; 
O by all the pains and woe 
Suffered once for man below, 
Bending from thy throne on high, 
Hear our solemn litany ! 

2 By thy helpless infant years: 
By thy life of want and tears ; 
By thy days of sore distress, 
In the savage wilderness ; 

By the dread mysterious hour 
Of the insulting tempter's power ; 
Turn, O turn a favoring eye, 
Hear our solemn litany ! 



3 By the sacred griefs that wept 
O'er the grave where Lazarus slept; 
By the boding tears that flowed 
Over Salem's loved abode ; 
By the anguished sigh that told 
Treachery lurked within thy fold ; 
From thy seat above the sky, 

Hear our solemn litany ! 

4 By thine hour of dire despair ; 
By thine agony of prayer ; 

By the cross, the nail, the thorn, 
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn ; 
By the gloom that veiled the skies 
O'er the dreadful sacrifice , 
Listen to our humble cry, 
Hear our solemn litany ! 

5 By thy deep, expiring groan : 
By the sad sepulchral stone', 
By the vault whose dark abode 
Held in vain the rising God , 

O from earth to heaven restored, 
Mighty, re-ascended Lord, 
Listen, listen to the cry 
Of our solemn litany!

/,o4r Nearer, my God, to thee. 

1 Nearer, my God, to thee ! 
Nearer to thee, 

Een though it be a cross 

That raiseth me ; 
Still all my song shall be, 
Nearer, my God, to thee, 

Nearer to thee ! 

2 Though like the wanderer, 
The sun gone down, 

Darkness be over me, 

My rest a stone, 
Yet in my dreams I 'd be 
Nearer, my God, to thee, 

Nearer to thee ! 



3 There let the way appear, 
Steps unto heaven ; 

All that thou sendest me, 

In mercy given ; 
Angels to beckon me 
Nearer, my God, to thee, 

Nearer to thee ! 

4 Then, with my waking thoughts 
Bright with thy praise, 

Out of my stony griefs 

Bethel I '11 raise ; 
So by my woes to be 
Nearer, my God, to Jiee, 

Nearer to thee ! 

5 Or if, on joyful wing 
Cleaving the sky, 

Sun, moon, and stars forgot, 

Upward I fly, 
Still all my song shall be, 
Nearer, my God, to thee, 

Nearer to thee !

•7QR Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. 
* "-^ 1 Sam. 7 : 12. 

1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing, 
Tune my heart to sing thy grace ; 

Streams of mercy, never ceasing, 
Call for songs of loudest praise. 

Teach me some melodious sonnet, 
Sung by flaming tongues above; 

Praise the mount— I'm fixed upon it- 
Mount of thy redeeming love ! 

2 Here I'll raise mine Ebenezer; 
Hither by thy help I 'm come; 

And I hope, by thy good pleasure, 

Safely to arrive at home. 
Jesus sought me when a stranger, 

Wandering from the fold of God ; 
He, to rescue me from danger, 

Interposed his precious blood. 

3 O to grace how great a debtor 
Daily I 'm constrained to be! 

Let thy goodness, like a fetter, 
Bind my wandering heart to thee: 

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, 
Prone to leave the God I love ; 

Here \s my heart, O take and seal it ; 
Seal it for thy courts above. 

KOBEET BOB1HSOW. 



4 f£i The harmonious chorus. 

1 Here on earth, where foes surround us, 
While our trembling souls within 

Feel the fetters which have bound us, 

Feel the burden of our sin ; 
Lord, on thee alone relying, 

Strength we crave to burst our chain, 
Ever pleading, ever crying, 

"Lord, for us the Lamb was slain." 

2 In those high and holy regions 
Where the blest thy praise prolong, 

Cherubs and seraphic, legions 
Know no theme of nobler song; 

White-robed saints, who there adore thee 
Throned above the glassy main, 

Sing, and cast their crowns before thee, 
"Lord, for us the Lamb was slain." 

3 Thus thy Church, whate'er her dwelling, 
Heaven above or earth belcw, 

One harmonious chorus swelling, 
Loves her Saviour's praise to show: 

Here in trial, there in glory, 
Changeless rings the immortal strain, 

Changeless sounds the wondrous story, 
" Lord, for us the Lamb was slain."

1 What a Friend we have in Jesus, 
All our sins and griefs to bear ! 

What a privilege to carry 
Every thing to God in prayer ! 

what peace we often forfeit, 
what needless pain we bear, 

All because we do not carry 
Every thing to God in prayer ! 

2 Have we trials and temptations? 
Is there trouble anywhere ? 

We should never be discouraged, 
Take it to the Lord in prayer. 

Can we find a friend so faithful 
Who will all our sorrows share? 

Jesus knows our every weakness, 
Take it to the Lord in prayer. 



3 Are we weak and heavy laden, 

Cumbered with a load of care'?— 
Precious Saviour, still our refuge, — 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? 

Take it to the Lord in prayer ; 
In his arms he'll take and shield thee, 

Thou wilt find a solace there.

T3 Before His cross. 

1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, 
Which before the cross I spend ; 

Life, and health, and peace possessing, 
From the sinner's dying Friend. 

2 Truly blessed is this station, 
Low before his cross to lie, 

While I see divine compassion 
Beaming in his gracious eye. 

3 Here it is I find my heaven 
While upon the cross I gaze ; 

Love I much? I've much forgiven; 
I'm a miracle of grace. 

4 Love and grief my heart dividing, 
With my tears his feet I'll bathe ; 

Constant still, in faith abiding, 
Life deriving from his death. 

5 Here in tender, grateful sorrow 
With my Saviour will I stay; 

Here new hope and strength will borrow : 
Here will love my fears away. 

JAMES ALLEN, ALT. BY WALTER SHIELEY. 

7ol Lo, I am with you alway. 

1 Always with us, always with us ;— 
Words of cheer and words of love ; 

Thus the risen Saviour whispers, 
From his dwelling-place above. 

With us when we toil in sadness, 
Sowing much, and reaping none; 

Telling us that in the future 
Golden harvests shall be won. 

2 With us when the storm is sweeping 
O'er our pathway dark and drear ; 



Waking hope within our bosoms, 
Stilling every anxious fear. 

With us in the lonely valley, 
When we cross the chilling stream : 

Lighting up the steps to glory 
With salvation's radiant beam. 



EDWIN H. NEVII>

Life of life. 

1 Laboring and heavy laden, 
Wanting help in time of need, 

Fainting by the way from hunger, 
"Bread of life!" on thee we feed. 

2 Thirsting for the springs of waters 
That, by love's eternal law, 

From the stricken Rock are flowing, 
" Well of life! " from thee we draw, 

3 In the land of cloud and shadow, 
Where no human eye can see, 

Light to those who sit in darkness, 
" Light of life ! " we walk in thee. 

4 Thou the grace of life supplying, 
Thou the crown of life wilt give ; 

Dead to sin, and daily dying, 
"Life of life! " in thee we live. 



Doxology. 
Praise the God of our salvation ; 

Praise the Father's boundless love ; 
Praise the Lamb, our expiation ; 

Praise the Spirit from above, 
Author of the new creation, 

Him by whom our spirits live; 
Undivided adoration 

To the one Jehovah give.

If 3 3 Hallelujah. 

1 thou God of my salvation, 
My Redeemer from all sin ; 

Moved by thy divine compassion, 
Who hast died my heart to win, 

I will praise thee ; 
Where shall I thy praise begin ? 

2 Though unseen, I love the Saviour ; 
He hath brought salvation near ; 

Manifests his pardoning favor ; 
And when Jesus doth' appear, 

Soul and body 
Shall his glorious image bear. 

3 While the angel choirs are crying, 
"Glory to the great I AM," 

I with them will still be vying— 
Glory ! glory to the Lamb ! 

O how precious 
Is the sound of Jesus' name ! 

4 Angels now are hovering round us, 
Unperceived amid the throng ; 

Wondering at the love that crowned us, 
Glad to pin the holy song : 

Hallelujah, 
Love and praise to Christ belong ! 

THOMAS OLIVERS. 



/ o4r King of heaven, God of grace. 

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven ; 
To his feet thy tribute bring ; 

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, 
Evermore his praises sins : 
Hallelujah ! Hallelujah '! 
Praise the everlasting King. 

2 Praise him for his grace and favor 
To our fathers in distress ; 

Praise him, still the same as ever, 
Slow to chide, and swift to bless: 

Hallelujah ! Hallelujah ! 
Glorious in his faithfulness. 

3 Father-like, he tends and spares us, 
Well our feeble frame he knows ; 

In his hands he gently bears us, 
Rescues us from all our foes : 

Hallelujah ! Hallelujah ! 
Praise with us the God of grace. 

HENRY F. LYTE AND SIR HENRY W. BAKES. 

Doxology. 
Great Jehovah ! we adore thee, 
God the Father, God the Son, 
God the Spirit, joined in glory 
On the same eternal throne : 

Endless praises 
To Jehovah, Three in One.

7o5 y'te power of prayer. 

1 wondrous power of faithful prayer ! 
What tongue can tell the almighty grace ? 

God's hands or bound or open are, 

As Moses or Elijah prays : 
Let Moses in the Spirit groan, 
And God cries out, "Let me alone! 

2 " Let me alone, that all my wrath 
May rise the wicked to consume ; 

While justice hears thy praying faith, 

It cannot seal the sinner's doom : 
My Son is in my servant's prayer, 
And Jesus forces me to spare." 

3 Fattier, we ask in Jesus' name, 
In Jesus' power aud spirit pray; 

Divert thy vengeful thunder's aim, 

O turn thy threatening wrath away I 
Our guilt and punishment remove, 
And magnify thy pardoning love. 

4 Father, regard thy pleading Son ! 
Accept his all-availing prayer, 

And send a peaceful answer down, 
In honor of our Spokesman there, 
Whose blood proclaims our sins forgiven, 
And speaks thy rebels up to heaven. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



7dO Jesus all, and in all. 

1 Thou hiddeft Source of calm repose, 

Thou all-sufficient Love divine, 
My help and refuge from my foes, 

Secure I am while thou art mine : 
And lo 1 from sin, and grief, and shame, 

1 hide me, Jesus, in thy name. 

2 Thy mighty name salvation is, 
And keeps my happy soul above : 

Comfort it brings, and power, and peace, 

And joy, and everlasting love : 
To me, with thy great name, are given 
Pardon, and holiness, and heaven. 

3 Jesus, my all in all thou art ; 
My rest in toil, my ease in pain; 

The medicine of my broken heart ; 

In war, my peace ; in loss, my gain ; 
My smile beneath the tyrant's frown ; 
In shame, my glory and my crown : 

4 In want, my plentiful supply ; 

In weakness, my almighty power; 
In bonds, my perfect liberty ; 

My light, in Satan's darkest hour; 
In grief, my joy unspeakable ; 
My life in death, my all in all.

THE CHRISTIAN— PRAYEK AND PRAISE. 



FIRST PART. 

/O/ Wrestling Jacob— the struggle. 

1 Come, thou Traveler unknown, 
Whom still I hold but cannot see; 

My company before Is gone, 

And I am left alone with thee : 
With thee all night I mean to stay, 
And wrestle till the break of day. 

2 I need not tell thee who I am, 
My sin and misery declare ; 

Thyself hast called me by my name, 

Look on thy hands, and read it there : 
But who, I ask thee, who art thou? 
Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 

3 In vain thou strugglest to get free, 
I never will unloose my hold : 

Art thou the Man that died for me ? 

The secret of thy love unfold : 
Wrestling, I will not let thee go, 
Till I thy name, thy nature know. 

4 Wilt thou not yet to me reveal 
Thy new, unutterable name ? 

Tell me, I still beseech thee, tell ; 
To know it now resolved I am : 
Wrestling, I will not let thee go, 
Till I thy name, thy nature know. 

5 What though my shrinking flesh com- 

plain, 

And murmur to contend so long ? 
I rise superior to my pain ; 

When I am weak, then I am strong : 
And when my all of strength shall fail, 
I shall with the God-man prevail. 

CHAELES WESLEY. 



SECOND PART. 

The name revealed. 



738 

1 Yield to me now, for I am weak, 
But confident in self-despair ; 

Speak to my heart, in blessing speak, 

Be conquered by my instant prayer : 
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, 
And tell me if thy name be Love. 

2 'Tis Love ! 'tis Love ! thou diedst for me ! 
I hear thy whisper in my heart ; 

The morning breaks, the shadows flee ; 

Pure, universal love thou art : 
To me, to all, thy bowels move ; 
Thy nature and thy name is Love. 

3 My prayer hath power with God ; the 

grace 

Unspeakable I now receive ; 
Through faith I see thee face to face, 

I see thee face to face, and live ! 
In vain I have not wept and strove ; 
Thy nature and thy name is Love. 



4 I know thee, Saviour, who thou art, 
Jesus, the feeble sinner's Friend; 

Nor wilt thou with the night depart, 
But stay and love me to the end : 

Thy mercies never shall remove ; 

Thy nature and thy name is Love. 

CHAELES WESLEY. 



THIRD PART. 

/ t>y Victorious rapture. 

1 The Sun of righteousness on me 
Hath risen with healing in his wings : 

Withered my nature's strength, from thee 

My soul its life and succor brings : 
My help is all laid up above; 
Thy nature and thy name is Love. 

2 Contented now, upon my thigh 

I halt, till life's short journey end ; 
AH helplessness, all weakness, I 

On thee alone for strength depend, 
Nor have I power from thee to move ; 
Thy nature and thy name is Love. 

3 Lame as I am, I take the prey ; 

Hell, earth, and sin, with ease o'ercome ; 
I leap for joy, pursue my way, 

And as a bounding hart fly home, 
Through all eternity to prove 
Thy nature and thy name is Love. 

CHAELES WESLEY. 



[L. P. M. Tune, Nashville. Page 178.] 
/ 4rO Everlasting praises. 

1 I 'll praise my Maker while I 've breath, 
And when my voice is lost in death, 

Praise shall employ my nobler powers ; 
My days of praise shall ne'er be past, 
While life, and thought, and being last, 

Or immortality endures. 

2 Happy the man whose hopes rely 
On Israel's God ; he made the sky, 

And earth, and seas, with all their train ; 
His truth forever stands secure ; 
He saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor, 

And none shall find his promise vain. 

3 The Lord pours eye-sight on the blind ; 
The Lord supports the fainting mind ; 

He sends the laboring conscience peace r 
He helps the stranger in distress, 
The widow and the fatherless, 

And grants the prisoner sweet release. 

4 I '11 praise him while he lends me breath, 
And when my voice is lost in death, 

Praise shall employ my nobler powers ; 
My days of praise shall ne'er be past, 
While life, and thought, and being last, 

Or immortality endures.

741 Jesus is mine. 

1 Fade, fade, each earthly joy ; 

Jesus is mine. 
Break every tender tie ; 

Jesus is mine. 
Dark is the wilderness, 
Earth has no resting-place, 
Jesus alone can bless ; 

Jesus is mine. 

2 Tempt not my soul away; 

Jesus is mine. 
Here would I ever stay ; 

Jesus is mine. 
Perishing things of clay, 
Born but for one brief day, 
Pass from my heart away ; 

Jesus is mine. • 

3 Farewell, ye dreams of night ; 

Jesus is mine. 
Lost in this dawning bright, 

jesus is mine. 
All that my soul has tried 
Left but a dismal void ; 
Jesus has satisfied ; 

Jesus is mine. 

4 Farewell, mortality; 

Jesus is mine. 
Welcome, eternity ; 

Jesus is mine. 
Welcome, O loved and blest, 
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest, 
Welcome, my Saviour's breast ; 

Jesus is mine. 

MRS. HORATIU3 BONAR. 



4 4: £ I give myself to Thee. 

1 Saviour, who died for me, 

1 give myself to thee ; 
Thy love, so full, so free, 

Claims all my powers. 
Be this my purpose high, 
To serve thee till I die, 
Whether my path shall lie 

'Mid thorns or flowers. 

2 But, Lord, the flesh is weak ; 
Thy gracious aid I seek, 

For thou the word must speak, 

That makes me strong. 
Then let me hear tby voice, 
Thou art my only choice ; 

bid my heart rejoice, 
Be thou my song. 

3 May it be joy to me 
To follow only thee ; 
Thy faithful servant be, 

Thine to the end. 
For thee, I '11 do and dare, 
For thee, the cross I'll bear, 
To thee direct my prayer, 

On thee depend. 

4 Saviour, with me abide ; 
Be ever near my side ; 
Support, defend, and guide ; 

I look to thee. 

1 lay my hand in thine, 
And fleeting joys resign, 
If I may call thee mine 

Eternally.

/ 4:3 Jfafce JJfs praise glorious. 

1 O could I speak the matchless worth, 

could I sound the glories forth, 
Which in my Saviour shine, 

1 'd soar and touch the heavenly strings, 
And vie with Gabriel while he sings 

In notes almost divine. 

2 I 'd sing the precious blood he spilt, 
My ransom from the dreadful guilt 

Of sin, and wrath divine; 
I 'd sing his glorious righteousness, 
In which all-perfect, heavenly dress 

My soul shall ever shine. 

3 I'd sing the characters he bears, 
And all the forms of love he wears, 

Exalted on his throne ; 
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, 
I would to everlasting days 

Make all his glories known. 

4 Well, the delightful day will come 
When my dear Lord will bring me home, 

And I shall see his face ; 
Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend, 
A blest eternity I '11 spend, 

Triumphant in his grace. 

----- Samuel medley.

74:4: Always rejoicing. 

1 How happy, gracious Lord, are we, 
Divinely drawn to follow thee ! 

Whose hours divided are 
Betwixt the mount and multitude ; 
Our day is spent in doing good, 

Our night in praise and prayer. 

2 With us no melancholy void, 
No moment lingers unemployed, 

Or unimproved, below : 
Our weariness of life is gone, 
Who live to serve our God alone, 

And only thee to know. 

3 The winter's night, the summer's day, 
Glide imperceptibly away, 

Too short to sing thy praise ; 
Too few we find the happy hours, 
And haste to join those heavenly powers 

In everlasting lays. 

4 With all who chant thy name on high, 
And, " Holy, holy, holy," cry,— 

A bright, harmonious throng ! 
We long thy praises to repeat, 
And ceaseless sing around thy seat 

The new, eternal song.

FIRST PART. 

I y' /\-^~\ My help cometh from the Lord. 
* ^ C «- J ' p s . 121 : 2. 

1 To the hills I lift mine eyes, 
The everlasting hills ; 

Streaming thence in fresh supplies, 

My soul the Spirit feels : 
Will he not his help afford? 

Help, while yet I ask, is given : 
God comes down ; the God and Lord 

Who made both earth and heaven. 

2 Faithful soul, pray always ; pray, 
And still in God confide ; 

He thy feeble steps shall stay, 

Nor suffer thee to slide ; 
Lean on thy Redeemer's breast ; 

He thy quiet spirit keeps ; 
Rest in him, securely rest ; 

Thy Watchman never sleeps. 

3 Neither sin, nor earth, nor hell, 
Thy Keeper can surprise ; 

Careless slumbers cannot steal 

On his all-seeing eyes ; 
He is Israel's sure defense ; 

Israel all his care shall prove ; 
Kept by watchful providence, 

And ever-waking love. 

CHARLES WESLEY,

SECOND PART. 

74:0 The Lord is thy Keeper.— Ps. 121 : 5. 

1 See the Lord, thy Keeper, stand 
Omnipotently near: 

Lo ! he holds thee by thy hand, 

And banishes thy fear : 
Shadows with his wings thy head ; 

Guards from all impending harms ; 
Round thee and beneath are spread 

The everlasting arms. 

2 Christ shall bless thy going out, 
Shall bless thy coming in ; 

Kindly compass thee about. 
Till thou art saved from sin ; 

Like thy spotless Master, thou. 
Filled with wisdom, love, and power, 

Holy, pure, and perfect now, 
Henceforth, and evermore. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

Doxology. 7, 6, S. 

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, 

Thy Godhead we adore, 
Join we with the heavenly host, 

To praise thee evermore ! 
Live, by earth and heaven adored, 

The Three in One, the One in Three ; 
Holy, holy, holy Lord, 

All glory be to thee !

74:7 Preciousness of Jesus. 

1 How tedious and tasteless the hours 
When Jesus no longer I see ! 

Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet 
flowers, 

Have all lost their sweetness to me ; 
The midsummer sun shines but dim, 

The fields strive in vain to look gay ; 
But when I am happy in him, 

December 's as pleasant as May. 

2 His name yields the richest perfume, 
And sweeter than music his voice ; 

His presence disperses my gloom, 
And makes all within me rejoice ; 

I should, were he always thus nigh, 
Have nothing to wish or to fear ; 

No mortal so happy as I, 
My summer would last all the year. 

3 Content with beholding his face, 
My all to his pleasure resigned, 

No changes of season or place 
Would make any change in my mind : 

While blest with a sense of his love, 
A palace a toy would appear ; 

And prisons would palaces prove, 
If Jesus would dwell with me there. 



211 



4 My Lord, if indeed I am thine, 
If thou art my sun and my song, 

Say, why do 1 languish and pine? 
And why are my winters so long? 

drive these dark clouds from my sky, 
Thy soul-cheering presence restore ;' 

Or take me to thee up on high, 
Where winter and clouds are no more. 

JOHN NEWTON. 

74b Longing for closer communion. 

1 Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine, 
The joy and desire of my heart, 

For closer communion I pine, 
I long to reside where thou art : 

The pasture I languish to find, 
Where all, who their Shepherd obey, 

Are fed, on thy bosom reclined. 
And screened from the heat of the day. 

2 'Tis there, with the lambs of thy flock, 
There only, I covet to rest ; 

To lie at the foot of the rock, 
Or rise to be hid in thy breast : 

'Tis there I would always abide, 
And never a moment depart, 

Concealed in the cleft of thy side, 
Eternally held in thy heart.

74: y T/ie tender mercy of the Lord. 

1 O bless the Lord, my soul! 
His grace to thee proclaim ; 

And all that is within me, join 
To bless his holy name. 

2 The Lord forgives thy sins, 
Prolongs thy feeble breath ; 

He healeth thine infirmities, 
And ransoms thee from death. 

3 He clothes thee with his love, 
Upholds thee with his truth; 

And like the eagle he renews 
The vigor of thy youth. 

4 Then bless his holy name 

Whose grace hath made thee whole ; 
Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days: 
O bless the Lord, my soul ! 

ISAAC WATTS, ALT. 

75U Pray evermore. 

1 Come at the morning hour, 
Come, let us kneel and pray ; 

Prayer is the Christian pilgrim's staff 
To walk with God all day. 

2 At noon, beneath the Rock 
Of ages, rest and pray ; 

Sweet is that shelter from the sun 
In weary heat of day. 

3 At evening, in thy home, 
Around its altar, pray; 

An*l finding there the house of God, 
With heaven then close the day. 



4 When midnight veils our eyes, 

it is sweet to say, 
" I sleep, but my heart waketh, Lord, 

With thee to watch and pray." 

JAMES MONTGOMERY. 

YOl Heaven upon earth. 
1 My God, my Life, my Love, 
To thee, to thee I call ; 

1 cannot live if thou remove, 
For thou art all in all. 

2 Thy shining grace can cheer 
This dungeon where I dwell ; 

'Tis paradise when thou art here; 
If thou depart, 'tis hell. 

3 The smiiings of thy face, 
How amiable they are ! 

'Tis heaven to rest in thine embrace, 
And nowhere else but there. 

4 Not all the harps above 
Can make a heavenly place, 

If God his residence remove, 
Or but conceal his face. 

5 Thou art the sea of love, 
Where all my pleasures roll : 

The circle where my passions move. 
And center of my soul. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

Doxology. 
To God, the Father, Son, 

And Spirit, One in Three, 
Be glory, as it was, is now, 

And shall forever be.

/0<2 The hour of prayer. 

1 My God, is any hoar so sweet, 
From blush of morn to evening star, 

As that which calls me to thy feet, 
The hour of prayer? 

2 Blest is that tranquil hour of morn, 
And blest that solemn hour of eve, 

When, on the wings of prayer upborne, 
The world I leave. 

3 Then is my strength by thee renewed ; 
Then are my sins by thee forgiven ; 

Then dost thou cheer my solitude 
With hopes of heaven. 



4 No words can tell what sweet relief 
Here for my every want I find; 

What strength for warfare, balm for grief, 
What peace of mind. 

5 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear; 
My spirit seems in heaven to stay ; 

And e'en the penitential tear 
Is wiped away. 

6 Lord, till I reach that blissful shore, 
No privilege so dear shall be, 

As thus my inmost soul to pour 
In prayer to thee.

75d The spirit of prayer. 

1 The praying spirit breathe, 

The watching power impart, 
From all entanglements beneath 

Call off my peaceful heart; 
My feeble mind sustain, 

By worldly thoughts oppressed ; 
Appear, and bid me turn again 

To my eternal rest. 



279 



2 Swift to my rescue come, 

Thine own this moment seize ; 
Gather my wandering spirit home, 

And keep in perfect peace : 
Suffered no more to rove 

O'er all the earth abroad, 
Arrest the prisoner of thy love, 

And shut me up in God.

7o4r 1 lay my sins on Jesus. 
1 I lay my sins on Jesus, 

The spotless Lamb of God ; 
He bears them all, and frees us 

From the accursed load : 

1 bring my guilt to Jesus, 
To wash my crimson stains 

White in his blood most precious, 
Till not a stain remains. 

2 I lay my wants on Jesus ; 
All fullness dwells in him ; 

He healeth my diseases, 
He doth my soul redeem : 

I lay my griefs on Jesus, 
My burdens and my cares; 

He from them all releases, 
He all my sorrows shares. 

3 I rest my soul on Jesus, 
This weary soul of mine ; 

His right hand me embraces, 
I on his breast recline : 

I love the name of Jesus, 
Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; 

Like fragrance on the breezes, 
His name abroad is poured. 



280 



4 I long to be like Jesus, 

Meek, loving, lowly, mild; 
I long to be like Jesus, 

The Father's holy child : 
I long to be with Jesus 

Amid the heavenly throng, 
To sing with saints his praises, 

And learn the angels' song. 

HOBATIUS BONAB. 

755 Never separated from Christ. 
1 , 1 know no life divided, 

O Lord of life, from thee ; 
In thee is life provided 

For all mankind and me : 

1 know no death, O Jesus, 
Because I live in thee ; 

Thy death it is which frees us 
From death eternally. 

2 I fear no tribulation, 
Since, whatsoe'er it be, 

It makes no separation 
Between my Lord and me. 

If thou, my God and Teacher, 
"Vouchsafe to be my own. 

Though poor, I shall be richer 
Than monarch on his throne. 

3 If, while on earth I wander, 
My heart is light and blest, 

Ah, what shall I be yonder, 

In perfect peace and rest? 
O blessed thought ! in dying 

We go to meet the Lord, 
Where there shall be no sighing, 

A kingdom our reward.

/ O 6 J Zove to teZZ ffte story. 
1 I love to tell the story, 

Of unseen things above, 
Of Jesus and his glory, 

Of Jesus and his love. 

1 love to tell the story, 
Because I know 'tis true ; 

It satisfies my longings, 
As nothing else can do. 
I love to tell the story, 

'Twill he my theme in glory, 
To tell the old, old story 
Of Jesus and his love. 

2 I love to tell the story ; 
More wonderful it seems 

Than all the golden fancies 

Of all our golden dreams. 
I love to tell the story, 

It did so much for me ; 



281 



And that is just the reason 
I tell it now to thee. 

3 I love to tell the story ; 
'Tis pleasant to repeat 

What seems, each time I tell it, 

More wonderfully sweet. 
I love to tell the story ; 

For some have never heard 
The message of salvation 

From God's own holy word. 

4 I love to tell the story ; 
For those who know it best 

Seem hungering and thirsting 

To hear it like the rest. 
And when, in scenes of glory, 

I sing the new, new song, 
'Twill be the old, old story 

That I have loved so long.

T'O/ The foretaste of endless bliss. 

1 My God, I am thine ; what a comfort di- 

vine, 
What a blessing to know that my Jesus 

is mine ! 
In the heavenly Lamb thrice happy I am, 
And my heart doth rejoice at the sound of 

his name. 

2 True pleasures abound in the rapturous 

sound, 
And whoever hath found it, hath paradise 

found : 
My Redeemer to know, to feel his blood 

flow, 
This is life everlasting— 'tis heaven below. 

3 Yet onward I haste to the heavenly feast ; 
That indeed is the fullness, but this is the 

taste ; 

And this I shall prove, till with joy I re- 
move 

To the heaven of heavens in Jesus's love. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

[10,11. Tune, Lyons. Page 168.] 

4 Oo Worldly vanity renounced. 

1 tell me no more of this world's vain 

store, 
The time for such trifles with me now is o'er ; 



A country I've found where true joys 

abound, 
To dwell I 'm determined on that happy 

ground. 

2 The souls that believe in paradise live. 
And me in that number will Jesus receive : 
My soul, don't delay; he calls thee away ; 
Rise, follow thy Saviour, and bless the glad 

day. 

3 No mortal doth know what he can bestow, 
What light, strength, and comfort — go 

after him, go ; 
Lo, onward I move to a city above. 
None guesses how wondrous my journey 

will prove. 

4 Great spoils I shall win from death, hell, 

and sin, 
'Midst outward afflictions shall feel Christ 

within: 
And when I'm to die, "Receive me," I'll 

cry, 
For Jesus hath loved me, I cannot tell why : 

5 But this I do find, we two are so joined. 
He'll not live in glory and leave me be- 
hind: 

So this is the race I'm running through 

grace, 
Henceforth, till admitted to see my Lord's 

face. 

6 And now I 'm in care my neighbors may 

share 
These blessings: to seek them will none 

of you dare? 
In bondage, why, and death will you lie, 
When one here assures you free grace is 

so nigh?

760 I need Thee every hour. 

1 I need thee every hour, 

Most gracious Lord ; 
No tender voice like thine 
Can peace afford. 
I need thee, I need thee ; 

Every hour I need thee ; 
O bless me now, my Saviour, 
I come to thee ! 
19 



2 I need thee every hour ; 
Stay thou near by ; 

Temptations lose their power 
When thou art nigh. 

3 I need thee every hour, 
In joy or pain ; 

Come quickly and abide, 
Or life is vain. 
283 



4 I need thee every hour ; 
Teach me thy will ; 

And thv rich premises 
In me fulfill. 

5 I need thee every hour, 
Most Holy One ; 

make me thine indeed, 
Thou blessed Son !

1 My Shepherd's mighty aid, 
His dear redeeming love, 

His all-protecting power displayed, 

I joy to prove : 
Led onward by my guide, 

I view the verdant scene, 
"Where limpid waters gently glide 

Through pastures green. 

2 In error's maze my soul 
Shall wander now no more ; 

His Spirit shall, with sweet control, 

The lost restore ; 
My willing steps shall lead 

In paths of righteousness ; 
His power defend ; his bounty feed ; 

His mercy bless. 



3 Affliction's deepest gloom 
Shall but his love display ; 

He will the vale of death illume 

With living ray : 
My failing flesh his rod 

Shall thankfully adore ; 
My heart shall vindicate my God 

For evermore. 

4 Hi3 goodness ever nigh, 
His mercy ever free, 

Shall while I live, shall when I die, 

Still follow me ; 
Forever shall my soul 

His boundless blessings prove ; 
And while eternal ages roll, 

Adore and love-

1 My faith looks up to thee, 
Thou Lamb of Calvary, 

Saviour divine : 
Now hear me while I pray, 
Take all my guilt away, 
O let me from this day 

Be wholly thine. 

2 May thy rich grace impart 
Strength to my fainting heart, 

My zeal inspire ; 
As thou hast died for me, 
O may my love to thee 
Pure, warm, and changeless be, 

A living fire. 



3 While life's dark maze I tread, 
And griefs around me spread, 

Be- thou my guide; 
Bid darkness turn to day, 
Wipe sorrow's tears away, 
Nor let me ever stray 

From thee aside. 

4 When ends life's transient dream, 
When death's cold, sullen stream 

Shall o'er me roll ; 
Blest Saviour, then, in love, 
Fear and distrust remove ; 
bear me safe above, — 

A ransomed soul.

1 where are kings and empires now. 
Of old that went and came? 

But, Lord, thy Church is praying yet, 
A thousand years the same. 

2 We mark her goodly battlements, 
And her foundations strong ; 

We hear within the solemn voice 
Of her unending song. 

3 For not like kingdoms of the world 
Thy holy Church, God ! 

Though earthquake shocks are threaten- 
ing her, 
And tempests are abroad ; 

4 Unshaken as eternal hills, 
Immovable she stands, 

A mountain that shall fill the earth, 
A house not made by hands. 

A. CLEVELAND COXE. 

/04r Founded on a Rock. 

1 With stately towers and bulwarks strong, 
Unrivaled and alone, 

Loved theme of many a sacred song, 
God's holy city shone. 

2 Thus fair was Zion's chosen seat, 
The glory of all lands; 

Yet fairer, and in strength complete, 
The Christian temple stands. 

3 The faithful of each clime and age 
This glorious Church compose; 

Built on a Rock, with idle rage 
The threatening tempest blows. 

4 Fear not ; though hostile bands alarm, 
Thy God is thy defense ; 

Arid weak and powerless every arm 
Against Omnipotence. HAKKIET AUME . 



7uO The kingdoms one. 

1 Happy the souls to Jesus joined, 
And saved by grace alone ; 

Walking in all his ways, they find 
Their heaven on earth begun. 

2 The Church triumphant in thy love, 
Their mighty joys we know : ' 

They sing the Lamb in hymns above, 
And we in hymns below. 

3 Thee in thy glorious realm they praise, 
And bow before thy throne ; 

We in the kingdom of thy grace: 
The kingdoms are but one. 

4 The holy to the holiest leads, 
And thence our spirits rise ; 

For he that in thy statutes treads 
Shall meet thee in the skies. 

CHAHLES WESLEY.

1 Behold the sure Foundation-stone 
Which God in Zion lays, 

To build our heavenly hopes upon, 
And his eternal praise. 

2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear, 
We now adore thy name ; 

We trust our whole salvation here, 
Nor can we suffer shame. 

3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest, 
Reject it with disdain ; 

Yet on this Bock the Church shall rest, 
And envy rage in vain. 

4 What though the gates of hell withstood 
Yet must this building rise; 

'Tis thine own work, Almighty God, 
And wondrous in our eyes. ISAAC WArrs ,

TO 7 Good news for Zion. 

1 On the mountain's top appearing, 
Lo ! the sacred herald stands, 

Welcome news to Zion hearing, 
Zion, iong in hostile lands: 

Mourning captive ! 
God himself shall loose thy bands. 

2 Has thy night been long and mournful ' 
Have thy friends unfaithful proved ? 

Have thy foes been proud and scornful, 
By thy sighs and tears unmoved? 

Cease thy mourning ; 
Zion still is well beloved. 

3 God, thy God, will now restore thee ; 
He himself appears thy Friend ; 

All thy foes shall flee before thee ; 
Here their boasts and triumphs end: 

Great deliverance 
Zion's King will surely send. 

4 Peace and joy shall now attend thee; 
' All thy warfare now is past ; 

God thy Saviour will defend thee ; 
Victory is thine at last : 

All thy conflicts 
End in everlasting rest. 

THOMAS KELLY. 



/Do Jehovah, the defense of Zion. 

1 Zion. stands with hills surrounded, 
Zion, kept by power divine : 

All her foes shall be confounded, 
Though the world in arms combine : 

Happy Zion, 
What a favored lot is thine ! 

2 Every human tie may perish ; 
Friend to friend unfaithful prove ; 



769 



287 



Mothers cease their own to cherish ; 

Heaven and earth at last remove ; 
But no changes 

Can attend Jehovah's love. 
3 In the furnace God may prove thee, 

Thence to bring thee forth more bright, 
But can never cease to love thee ; 

Thou art precious in his sight : 
God is with thee, 

God, thine everlasting light. 

THOMAS KELLY. 

[C. M. Tune, St. Ann's. Page 286.] 
The truly blest. 

1 How lovely are thy dwellings, Lord, 
From noise and trouble free! 

How beautiful the sweet accord 
Of souls that pray to thee ! 

2 Lord God of hosts that reign'st on high ! 
They are the truly blest 

Who only will on thee rely, 
In thee alone will rest. 

3 They pass refreshed the thirsty vale, 
The dry and barren ground, 

As through a fruitful, watery dale, 
Where springs and showers abound. 

4 They journey on from strength to 

strength, 
With joy and gladsome cheer, 
Till all before our God at length 
In Zion's courts appear. 

JOHN MILTON. 

Doxology. 
Great Jehovah ! we adore thee, 
God the Father, God the Son, 
God the Spirit, joined in glory 
On the same eternal throne : 

Endless praises 
To Jehovah, Three in One !

/ / O Loue /or* Zion. 

1 I love thy kingdom, Lord, 
The house of thine abode, 

The Church our blest Redeemer saved 
With his own precious blood. 

2 I love thy Church, O God ! 
Her walls before thee stand, 

Dear as the apple of thine eye, 
And graven on thy hand. 

3 For her my tears shall fall, 
For her my prayers ascend; 

To her my cares and toils be given, 
Till toils and cares shall end. 

4 Beyond my highest joy 

I prize her heavenly ways, 
Her sweet communion, solemn vows, 
Her hymns of love and praise. 

5 Sure as thy truth shall last, 
To Zion sball be given 

The brightest glories earth can yield, 
And brighter bliss of heaven. 

TIMOTHY DVVIGHT.

1 Lord, thy work revive, 
In Zion's gloomy hour, 

And let our dying graces live 
By thy restoring power. 

2 O let thy chosen few 
Awake to earnest prayer ; 

Their covenant again renew, 
And walk in filial fear.

3 Thy Spirit then will si 
Through lips of humble clay, 

Till hearts of adamant shall break, 
Till rebels shall obey.

Now listen to our cry : 

come, and bring salvation near; 
Our souls on thee rely.

security. 

1 Who in the Lord confide, 
And feel his sprinkled blood, 

In storms and hurricanes abide 
Firm as the mount of God: 

Steadfast, and fixed, and sure, 
His Zion cannot move; 

His faithful people stand secure 
In Jesus' guardian love. 

2 As round Jerusalem 
The hilly bulwarks rise, 

So God protects and covers them 

From all their enemies. 
On every side he stands, 

And for his Israel cares ; 
And safe in his almighty hands 

Their souls forever

'WQ The forty-sixth Psalm. 

1 God Is the refuge of his saints, 
When storms of sharp distress invade ; 

Ere we can offer our complaints, 
Behold him present with his aid. 

2 Let mountains from their seats he hurled 
Down to the deep, and buried there, 

Convulsions shake the solid world,— 
Our faith shall never yield to fear. 

3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar ; 
In sacred peace our souls abide ; 

While every nation, every shore, 
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 

4 There is a stream whose gentle flow 
Supplies the city of our God, 

Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, 
And watering our divine abode. 

5 That sacred stream, thine holy word, 
Our grief allays, our fear controls ; 

Sweet peace thy promises afford, 
And give new strength to fainting souls. 

6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, 
Secure against a threatening hour ; 

Nor can her firm foundation move, 
Built on his truth, and armed with power. 

ISAAC WATTS. 



7/4: The river of life. 

1 Great Source of being and of love ! 
Thou waterest all the worlds above ; 
And all the joys which mortals know, 
From thine exhaustless fountain flow. 



289 



2 A sacred spring, at thy command, 
From Zion's mount, in Canaan's land, 
Beside thy temple cleaves the ground, 
And pours its limpid stream around. 

3 Close by its banks, in order fair, 
The blooming trees of life appear; 
Their blossoms fragrant odors give, 
And on their fruit the nations live. 

4 Flow, wondrous stream, with glory 

crowned, 
Flow on to earth's remotest bound ; 
And bear us, on thy gentle wave, 
To him who all thy virtues gave. 

PHILIP DODDRIDGE. 



/70 Awake, Jerusalem, awake I 

1 Awake, Jerusalem, awake! 
No longer in thy sins lie down : 

The garment of salvation take; 
Thy beauty and thy strength put on. 

2 Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight, 
And hides the promise from thine eyes ; 

Arise, and struggle into light; 
The great Deliverer calls, "Arise! " 

3 Shake off the bands of sad despair; 
Zion, assert thy liberty ; 

Look up, thy broken heart prepare, 
And God shall set the captive free. 

4 Vessels of mercy, sons of grace, 
Be purged from every sinful stain ; 

Be like your Lord, his word embrace, 
Nor bear his hallowed name in vain.

7/0 God in the midst of her. 

1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, 
Zion, city of our God ; 

He, whose word cannot he broken, 
Formed thee for his own abode ; 

On the Rock of ages founded, 
What can shake thy sure repose? 

With salvation's walls surrounded, 
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes. 

2 See, the streams of living waters, 
Springing from eternal love, 

Still supply thy sous and daughters, 
And all fear of want remove : 

Who can faiot while such a river 
Ever flows our thirst to assuage? 

Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver, 
Never fails from age to age. 

3 Round each habitation hovering, 
See the cloud and fire appear, 

For a glory and a covering, 
Showing that the Lord is near J 

He who gives us daily manna, 
He who listens when we cry, 

Let him hear the loud hosanna 
Rising to his throne on high. 

JOHN NEWTON. 



777 God her everlasting light. 

1 Hear what God the Lord hath spoken : 
O my people, faint and few, 

Comfortless, afflicted, broken, 

Fair abodes I build for you. 
Scenes of heartfelt tribulation 

Shall no more perplex your ways ; 
You shall name your walls " Salvation," 

And your gates shall all be " Praise." 

2 There, like streams that feed the garden, 
Pleasures without end sball flow, 

For the Lord, your faith rewarding, 

All his bounty shall bestow. 
Still in undisturbed possession, 

Peace and righteousness shall reign ; 
Never shall you feel oppression, 

Hear the voice of war again. 

3 Ye, no more your suns descending, 
Waning moons no more shall see ; 

But, your griefs forever ending, 

Find eternal noon in me : 
God shall rise, and, shining o'er you, 

Change to day the gloom of night ; 
He, the Lord, shall be your glory, 

God, your everlasting light.

Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no

Bright o'er thy hills dawns the day-star of 

gladness ; 
Arise, for the night of thy sorrow is o'er. 

2 Strong were thy foes ; but the arm that 

subdued them, 
And scattered their legions, was mightier 
far;

Vain were their steeds and their chariots

should be ; 
Shout, for the foe is destroyed that en- 
slaved thee; 
The oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is 
free!

7oO The golden chain. 

1 How sweet, how heavenly is the sight, 
When those who love the Lord 

In one another's peace delight, 
And so fulfill his word ! 

2 When each can feel his brother's sigh, 
And with him bear a part! 

"When sorrow flows from eye to eye, 
And joy from heart to heart ! 

3 When, free from envy, scorn, and pride, 
Our wishes all above, 

Each can his brother's failings hide, 
And show a brother's love ! 

4 Let love, in one delightful stream, 
Through every bosom flow, 

And union sweet, and dear esteem, 
In every action glow. 

5 Love is the golden chain that binds 
The happy souls above ; 

And he 's ah heir of heaven who finds 
His bosom glow with love. 

. JOSEPH SWAIN. 

/ 81 Come with us. 

1 Come in, thou blessed of the Lord, 
Stranger nor foe art thou : 

We welcome thee with warm accord, 
Our friend, our brother, now. 

2 The hand of fellowship, the heart 
Of love, we offer thee : 

Leaving the world, thou dost but part 
From lies and vanity. 

3 Come with us ; we will do thee good, 
As God to us hath done ; 



Stand but in him as those have stood 
Whose faith the victory won. 

4 And when, by turns, we pass away, 

As star by star grows dim, 
May each, translated into day, 

Be lost and found in him.

/CD<£ United— though separate. 

1 Blest be the dear uniting love, 
That will not let us part : 

Our bodies may far off remove, 
We still are one in beart. 

2 Joined in one spirit to our Head, 
Where he appoints we go ; 

And still in Jesus' footsteps tread, 
And show his praise below. 

3 O may we ever walk in him, 
And nothing know beside ; 

Nothing desire, nothing esteem, 
But Jesus crucified. 

4 Closer and closer let us cleave 
To his beloved embrace ; 

Expect his fullness to receive, 
And grace to answer grace. 

5 Partakers of the Saviour's grace, 
The same in mind and heart, 

Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place, 
Nor life, nor death can part. 

6 Then let us hasten to the day 
Which shall our flesh restore ; 

When death shall all be done away, 
And bodies part no more.

1 Our God is love : and all his saints 
His image bear below : 

The heart with love to God inspired, 
With love to man will glow. 

2 Teach us to love each other, Lord, 
As we are loved by thee ; 

None who are truly born of God 
Can live in enmity. 

3 Heirs of the same immortal bliss, 
Our hopes and fears the same. 

With bonds of love our hearts unite, 
With mutual love inflame. 

4 So may the unbelieving world 
See how true Christians love ; 

And glorify our Saviour's grace, 
And seek that grace to prove.

784: The law of Christ. 

1 Try us, God, and search the ground 
Of every sinful heart ; 

Whate'er of sin in us is found, 
O bid it all depart. 

2 If to the right or left we stray. 
Leave us not comfortless ; 

But guide our feet into the way 
Of everlasting peace. 

3 Help us to help each other, Lord, 
Each other's cross to bear ; 

Let each his friendly aid afford, 
And feel his brother's care. 

4 Help us to build each other up, 
Our little stock improve; 



Increase our faith, confirm our hope, 
And perfect us in love. 

5 Up into thee, our living Head, 
Let us in all things grow. 

Till thou hast made us free indeed, 
And spotless here below. 

6 Then, when the mighty work is wrought, 
Receive thy ready'bride: 

Give us in heaven a happy lot 
With all the sanctified.

A band of love, a threefold cord, 
Which never can be broke. 

3 Make us into one spirit drink; 
Baptize into thy name ; 

And let us alway kindly think, 
And sweetly speak, the same. 

4 Touched by the loadstone of thy love ; 
Let all our hearts agree, 

And ever toward each other move, 
And ever move toward thee. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

Doxology. 

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, 

The God whom we adore, 
Be glory, as it was, is now, 

And shall be evermore !

7cO Rejoicing in hope. 

1 Lift up your hearts to things above, 
Ye followers of the Lamb, 

And join with us to praise his love, 
And glorify his name. 

2 To Jesus' name give thanks and sing, 
Whose mercies never end : 

Rejoice! rejoice! the Lord is King; 
The King is now our friend ! 

3 We for nis sake count all things loss ; 
On earthly good look down; 

And joyfully sustain the cross, 
Till we receive the crown. 

4 O let us stir each other up, 
Our faith by works to approve, 

By holy, purifying hope, 
And the sweet task of love. 

5 Let all who for the promise wait, 
The Holy Ghost receive ; 

And, raised to our unsinning state, 
With God in Eden live :— 

6 Live, till the Lord in glory come, 
And wait his heaven to share : 

He now is fitting up your home ; 
Go on, we '11 meet you there. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

'^Vf-X'J Ye are come unto Mount Sion. 
' ^ ' Heb. 12 : 22. 

1 Not to the terrors of the Lord, 
The tempest, Are, and smoke ; 

Not to the thunder of that word 
Which God on Sinai spoke ;— 

2 But we are come to Zion's hill, 
The city of our God; 

Where milder words declare his will, 
And speak his love abroad. 



3 Behold the innumerable host 
Of angels clothed in light ! 

Behold the spirits of the just, 
Whose faith is turned to sight I 

4 Behold the blest assembly there, 
Whose names are writ in heaven, 

And God, the Judge of all, declare 
Their vilest sins forgiven ! 

5 The saints on earth and all the dead 
But one communion make; 

All join in Christ, their living Head, 
And of his grace partake. 

6 In such society as this 

My weary soul would rest : 
The man that dwells where Jesus is, 
Must be forever blest.

/<Z~>CD The bond of love. 

1 The glorious universe around, 
The heavens with all their train, 

Sun, moon, and stars, are firmly bound 
In one mysterious chain. 

2 In one fraternal bond of love, 
One fellowship of mind, 

The saints below and saints above 
Their bliss and glory find. 

3 Here, in their house of pilgrimage, 
Thy statutes are their song ; 

There, through one bright, eternal age, 
Thy praises they prolong. 

4 Lord, may our union form a part 
Of that thrice happy whole ; 

Derive its pulse from thee, the heart. 
Its life from thee, the soul.

/Hy Harmony and joy unspeakable. 

1 All praise to our redeeming Lord, 
Who joins us by his grace, 

And bids us, each to each restored, 
Together seek his face. 

2 He bids us build each other up; 
And, gathered into one, 

To our high calling's glorious hope, 
We hand in hand go on. 

3 The gift which he on one bestows, 
We all delight to prove ; 

The grace through every vessel flows, 
In purest streams of love. 



4 E'en now we think and speak the same, 
And cordially agree, 

United all, through Jesus' name, 
In perfect harmony. 

5 We all partake the joy of one ; 
The common peace we feel ; 

A peace to sensual minds unknown, 
A joy unspeakable. 

6 And if our fellowship below 
In Jesus be so sweet, 

What height of rapture shall we know 
When round his throne we meet !

790 Safety in union. 

1 Jesus, great Shepherd of the sheep, 
To thee for help we fly ; 

Thy little flock in safety keep, 
For 0, the wolf is nigh ! 

2 He comes, of hellish malice full, 
To scatter, tear, and slay ; 

He seizes every straggling soul 
As his own lawful prey. 

3 Us into thy protection take, 
And gather with thine arm: 

Unless the fold we first forsake, 
The wolf can never harm. 



295 



4 We laugh to scorn his cruel power 
While by our Shepherd's side ; 

The sheep he never can devour, 
Unless he first divide. 

5 do not suffer him to part 
The souls that here agree ; 

But make us of one mind and heart, 
And keep us one in thee. 

6 Together let us sweetly live, 
Together let us die ; 

And each a starry crown receive, 
And reign above the sky.

/fc)l Welcome to Church fellowship. 

1 Brethren in Christ, and well beloved, 
To Jesus and his servants dear. 

Enter, and show yourselves approved ; 
Enter, and find that God is here. 

2 Welcome from earth : lo, the right hand 
Of fellowship to you we give ! 

With open hearts and hands we stand, 
And you in Jesus' name receive. 

3 Jesus, attend; thyself reveal; 

Are we not met in thy great name? 
Thee in the midst we wait to feel; 
We wait to catch the spreading flame. 

4 Truly our fellowship below 
With thee and with the Father is: 

In thee eternal life we know, 
And heaven's unutterable bliss. 

5 Though but in part we know thee here, 
We wait thy coming from above; 

And we shall then behold thee near, 
And be forever lost in love. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 



FIRST PART. 

TQ2 Striving together for the faith 
' ^"^ of the gospel. 

1 Unchangeable, almighty Lord, 
Our souls upon thy truth we stay ; 

Accomplish now thy faithful word, 
And give, give us all one way. 

2 O let us all join hand in hand, 
Who seek redemption in thy blood ; 

East in one mind and spirit stand, 
And build the temple of our God. 



3 Thou only canst our wills control, 
Our wild, unruly passions bind, 

Tame the old Adam in our soul, 
And make us of one heart and mind. 

4 Speak but the reconciling word,— 
The winds shall cease, the waves sub- 
side ; 

We all shall praise our common Lord. 
Our Jesus, and him crucified. 



SECOND PART. 

7.:'0 One fold and one Shepherd. 

1 Giver of peace and unity, 

Send down thy mild, pacific Dove; 
We all shall then in one agree, 
And breathe the spirit of thy love. 

2 We all shall think and speak the same 
Delightful lesson of thy grace ; 

One undivided Christ proclaim, 
And jointly glory in thy praise. 

3 O let us take a softer mold, 
Blended and gathered into thee; 

Under one Shepherd make one fold, 
Where all is love and harmony. 

4 Regard thine own eternal prayer, 
And send a peaceful answer down ; 

To us thy Father's name declare ; 
Unite and perfect us in one. 

5 So shall the world believe and know 
That God hath sent thee from above, 

When thou art seen in us below, 
And every soul displays thy love.

And own thee faithful to thy word ; 

We hear thy voice, and open now 
Our hearts to entertain our Lord. 

2 Come in, come in, thou heavenly Guest ; 
Delight in what thyself hast given ; 

On thy own gifts and graces feast, 
And make the contrite heart thy heaven. 

3 Smell the sweet odor of our prayers ; 
Our sacrifice of praise approve ; 

And treasure up our gracious tears, 
Who rest in thy redeeming love.

Call us thy friends, and love, and bride, 
And bid us freely drink and eat

Hear, and fulfill thine own request.

And wait thy sanctifying word, 

And thee their utmost Saviour own- 
Unite and perfect them in one. 

3 let them all thy mind express, 
Stand forth thy chosen witnesses, 
Thy power unto salvation show, 
And perfect holiness below.

How Christians lived in days of old ; 
Mighty their envious foes to move, 
A proverb of reproach— and love. 

CHAKLES "WESLEY.- 

t yt) One noiv, one forever. 

1 Still one in life and one in death, 
One in our hope of rest above, 

One in our joy, our trust, our faith, 
One in each other's faithful love ; 

2 Yet must we part, and parting weep; 
What else has earth for us in store? 

Our iarewell pangs, how sharp and deep ! 
Our farewell words, how sad and sore ! 

3 Yet shall we meet again in peace, 
To sing the song of festal joy, 

Where none shall bid our gladness cease, 
And none our fellowship destroy: 

4 Where none shall beckon us away, 
Nor bid our festival be done ; 

Our meeting-time the eternal day, 
Our meeting-place the eternal throne. 

5 There, hand in hand, firm-linked at last, 
And heart to heart enfolded all, 

We'll smile upon the troubled past, 
And wonder why we wept at all. 

HOBATIUS BOXAE.

/ty/ Sympathy and mutual love. 

1 Blest be the tie that binds 
Our hearts in Christian love ; 

The fellowship of kindred minds 
Is like to that above. 

2 Before our Father's throne, 
We pour our ardent prayers ; 

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, 
Our comforts and our cares. 

3 We share our mutual woes, 
Our mutual burdens bear ; 

And often for each other flows 
The sympathizing tear. 

4 When we asunder part, 
It gives us inward pain ; 

But we shall still be joined in heart, 
And hope to meet again. 

5 This glorious hope revives 
Our courage by the way ; 

While each in expectation lives, 
And longs to see the day. 

6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, 
And sin we shall be free ; 

And perfect love and friendship reign 
Through all eternity. 

JOHN FiWCETT. 



79o Meeting, after absence. 

1 And are we yet alive, 
And see each other's face? 

Glory and praise to Jesus give, 
For his redeeming grace. 



Preserved by power divine 

To full salvation here, 
Again in Jesus' praise we join, 

And in his sight appear. 

2 What troubles have we seen, 
What conflicts have we passed, 

Fightings without, and fears within, 

Since we assembled last ! 
But out of all the Lord 

Hath brought us by his love; 
And still he doth his help afford, 

And hides our life above. 

3 Then let us make our boast 
Of his redeeming power, 

Which saves us to the uttermost, 

Till we can sin no more : 
Let us take up the cross, 

Till we the crown obtain ; 
And gladly reckon all things loss, 

So we may Jesus gain. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

/t)y Blest communion. 

1 Blest are the sons of peace, 
Whose hearts and hopes are one ; 

Whose kind designs to serve and please 
Through all their actions run. 

2 Blest is the pious house 
Where zeal and friendship meet ; 

Their songs of praise, their mingled vows, 
Make their communion sweet. 

3 Thus on the heavenly hills 
The saints are blest above, 

Where ioy like morning dew distills, 
And all the air is love.

From different temples though it rise, 
One song ascendeth to the skies.

Thou who didst raise him from the dead, 
Unite thy people in their Head.

And mix our friendly souls in thee? 

3 Didst thou not make us one, 
That we might one remain ; 

Together travel on. 
And bear each other's pain; 
Till all thy utmost goodness prove, 
And rise renewed in perfect love? 

4 Surely thou didst unite 
Our kindred spirits here, 

That all hereafter might 
Before thy throne appear ; 
Meet at the marriage of the Lamb, 
And all thy gracious love proclaim. 

5 Then let us ever bear 
The blessed end in view, 

And join, with mutual care, 
To fight our passage through ; 
And kindly help each other on, 
Till all receive the starry crown. 

6 O may thy Spirit seal 
Our souls unto that day, 

With all thy fullness fill, 
And then transport away,— 
Away to our eternal rest. 
Away to our Redeemer's breast!

OU^J Sweet counsel. 

1 Glory be to God above, 

God, from whom all blessings flow ; 
Make we mention of his love, 
Publish we his praise below : 

2 Called together by his grace, 
We are met in Jesus' name ; 

See with joy each other's face, 
Followers of the bleeding Lamb. 

3 Build we each the other up; 
Pray we for our faith's increase; 

Solid comfort, settled hope, 
Constant joy, and lasting peace. 

4 More and more let love abound ; 
Let us never, never rest, 

Till we are in Jesus found. 
Of our paradise possessed. 

CHAKLES WESLEY. 

803 Love, the bond of union. 

1 While we walk with God in light, 
God our hearts doth still unite ; 
Dearest fellowship we prove, 
Fellowship in Jesus' love: 

Sweetly each, with each combined, 
In the bonds of duty joined, 
Feels the cleans ng blood applied. 
Daily feels that Christ hath died. 

2 Still, O Lord, our faith increase, 
Cleanse from all unrighteousness ; 
Thee the unholy cannot see, k 
Make, O make us meet for thee ; 
Every vile affection kill, 

Root' out every seed of ill, 

Utterlv abolish sin. 

Write thy law of love within. 



3 Hence may all our actions flow, 
Love the proof that Christ we know; 
Mutual love the token be, 
Lord, that we belong to thee : 
Love, thine image, love impart; 
Stamp it now on every heart : 
Only love to us be given ; 
Lord, we ask no other heaven. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

oU4: Of one heart and mind. 

1 Jesus, Lord, we look to thee; 
Let us in thy name agree ; 
Show thyself the Prince of peace ; 
Bid our jars forever cease. 

2 By thy reconciling love, 
Every stumbling-block remove ; 
Each' to each unite, endear. 
Come, and spread thy banner here. 

3 Make us of one heart and mind, 
Courteous, pitiful, and kind, 
Lowly, meek, in thought and word, 
Altogether like our Lord. 

4 Let us for each other care, 
Each the other's burden bear ; 
To thy Church the pattern give, 
Show how true believers live. 

5 Free from anger and from pride, 
Let us thus in God abide ; 

All the depths of love express, 
All the heights of holiness. 

6 Let us then with joy remove 
To the family above ; 

On the wings of angels fly ; 
Show how true believers die.

805 Witnesses for Jesus. 

1 Come, and let us sweetly join, 
Christ to praise in hymns divine; 
Give we all, with one accord, 
Glory to our common Lord ; 
Hands, and hearts, and voices raise ; 
Sing as in the ancient days; 
Antedate the joys above, 
Celebrate the feast of love. 

2 Strive we, in affection strive ; 
Let the purer flame revive, 
Such as in the martyrs glowed, 
Dying champions for their God : 
We like them may live and love ; 
Called we are their joys to prove, 
Saved with them from future wrath, 
Partners of like precious faith. 

3 Sing we, then, in Jesus' name, 
Now as yesterday the same; 
One in every time and place, 
Full for all of truth and grace : 
We for Christ, our Master, stand, 
Lights in a benighted land: 

We our dying Lord confess ; 
We are Jesus' witnesses. 

CHARGES WESLEY.

oUb Many, but one. 

1 Christ, from whom all blessings flows, 
Perfecting the saints below, 

Hear us, who thy nature share, 
Who thy mystic body are. 
Join us, in one spirit join, 
Let us still receive of thine ; 
Still for more on thee we call, 
Thou who fillest all in all. 

2 Move, and actuate, and guide. 
Divers gifts to each divide ; 
Placed according to thy will, 
Let us all our work fulfill ; 
Never from our office move ; 
Needful to each other prove ; 
Let us daily growth receive, 
More and more in Jesus live. 

3 Sweetly may we all agree, 
Touched with softest sympathy; 
Kindly for each other care ; 
Every member feel its share. 
Many are we now and one, 
We who Jesus have put on ; 
Names, and sects, and parties fall : 
Thou, O Christ, art all in all.

Where bliss each heart shall fill, 
And fears of parting chill

Secure from worldly woes ; 
Our songs of praise shall close

feUo Ministers' prayer. 

1 Lord of the living harvest 
That whitens o'er the plain. 

Where angels soon shall gather 
Their sheaves of golden grain ; 

Accept these hands to labor, 
These hearts to trust and love, 

And deign with them to hasten 
Thy kingdom from above. 

2 As laborers in thy vineyard, 
Send us, O Christ, to be 

Content to bear the burden 

Of weary days for thee ; 
We ask no other wages, 

When thou shalt call us home, 
But to have shared the travail 

Which makes thy kingdom come. 

3 Come down, thou Holy Spirit! 
And fill our souls with light. 

Clothe us in spotless raiment, 
In linen clean and white; 

Beside thy sacred altar 
Be with us, where we stand, 

To sanctify thy people 
Through all this happy land. 

JOUN S. B. MONSliLL. 



[C. P. M. Tune, Meribah. Page 358.] 
C(J9 Entire dependence on Christ. 

1 Except the Lord conduct the plan, 
The best concerted schemes are vain, 

And never can succeed ; 
We spend our wretched strength for naught; 
But if our works in thee be wrought, 

They shall be blest indeed. 

2 Lord, if thou didst thyself inspire 
Our souls with this intense desire 

Thy goodness to proclaim; 
Thy glory if we now intend, 
let our deeds begin and end 

Complete in Jesus' name. 

3 Now, Jesus, now thy love impart, 
To govern each devoted heart, 

And fit us for thy will ; 
Deep founded in the truth of grace, 
Build up thy rising Church, and place 

The city on the hill. 

4 let our love and faith abound ; 
let our lives, to all around, 

With purest luster shine ; 
That all around our works may see, 
And give the glory, Lord, to thee, 

The heavenly light divine.

blU Heralds of the cross. 

1 Go forth, ye heralds, in My name, 
Sweetly the gospel trumpet sound; 

The glorious jubilee proclaim, 
Where'er the human race is found. 

2 The joyful news to all impart. 

And teach them where salvation lies; 
With care bind up the broken heart, 
And wipe the tears from weeping eyes. 

3 Be wise as serpents, where you go, 
But harmless as the peaceful dove ; 

And let your heaven-taught conduct show 
Ye are commissioned from above. 

4 Freely from me ye have received, 
Freely, in love, to others give ; 

Thus shall your doctrines be believed, 
And, by your labors, sinners live. 

JOHN LOGAN. 



O-LJ- He giveth the increase. 

1 High on his everlasting throne, 

The King of saints his work surveys ; 
Marks the dear souls he calls his own, 
And smiles on the peculiar race. 

2 He rests well pleased their toils to see; 
Beneath his easy yoke they move ; 

With all their heart and strength agree 
In the sweet labor of his love. 

3 See where the servants of the Lord, 
A busy multitude, appear; 

For Jesus day and night employed, 
His heritage they toil to clear. 



4 The love of Christ their hearts constrains, 
And strengthens their unwearied hands; 

They spend their sweat, and blood, and 
pains, 
To cultivate Immanuel's land's. 

5 Jesus their toil delighted sees, 
Their industry vouchsafes to crown; 

He kindly gives the wished increase, 
And sends the promised blessing down. 

AUGUSTUS G. Sl>At«GENBEK,G. TK. BY J. WESLEY. 

O-L^ The ministry instituted. 

1 The Saviour, when to heaven he rose, 
In splendid triumph o'er his foes, 
Scattered his gifts on men below, 

And still his royal bounties flow. 

2 Hence sprang the apostles' honored name, 
Sacred beyond heroic fame : 

In humbler forms, before our eyes, 
Pastors and teachers hence arise. 

3 From Christ they all their gifts derive, 
And, fed by Christ, their graces live ; 
While, guarded by his mighty hand, 
'Midst all the rage of hell they stand. 

4 So shall the bright succession run 
Through all the courses of the sun ; 
While unborn churches, by their care, 
Shall rise and flourish large and fair. 

5 Jesus, now teach our hearts to know 
The spring whence all these blessings flow ; 
Pastors and people shout thy praise, 
Through the long round of endless days.

FIRST PART. 

81o Boldness in the gospel. 

1 Shall I, for fear of feeble man, 
The Spirit's course in me restrain ? 
Or, undismayed in deed and wox*d, 
Be a true witness of my Lord? 

2 Awed by a mortal's frown, shall I 
Conceal the word of God most high? 
How then before thee shall I dare 
To stand, or how thine anger bear? 

3 Shall I, to soothe the unholy throng, 
Soften thy truth, or smooth my tongue, 
To gain earth's gilded toys, or flee 
The cross endured, my Lord, by thee? 

4 What, then, is he whose scorn I dread, 
Whose wrath or hate makes me afraid? 
A man ! an heir of death ! a slave 

To sin ! a bubble on the wave 1 

5 Yea, let men rage ; since thou wilt spread 
Thy shadowing wings around my head ; 
Since in all pain thy tender love 

Will still my sure refreshment prove. 

JOHANN J. WINKLER. TK. BY J. WESLEY. 
SECOND PART. 

ol4r Christ's constraining love. 

1 Saviour of men, thy searching eye 
Doth all mine inmost thoughts descry ; 
Doth aught on earth my wishes raise, 
Or the world's pleasures, or its praise? 

2 The love of Christ doth me constrain 
To seek the wandering souls of men ; 
With cries, entreaties, tears, to save,— 
To snatch them from the gaping grave. 



3 For this let men revile ray name ; 
No cross I shun, I fear no shame: 

All hail, reproach ; and welcome, pain ; 
Only thy terrors, Lord, restrain. 

4 My life, my blood, I here present. 
If for thy truth they may be spent ; 
Fulfill thy sovereign counsel, Lord; 
Thy will be done, thy name adored. 

5 Give me thy strength, O God of power: 
Then let winds blow, or thunders roar, 
Thy faithful witness will I be : 

'Tis fixed; I can do all through thee. 

JOHANN J. WINKLER. TK. BY. J. WESLEY. 

olO The angels of the Churches. 

1 Draw near, O Son of God, draw near; 
Us with thy flaming eye behold ; 

Still in thy Church do thou appear, 
And let our candlestick be gold. 

2 Still hold the stars in thy right hand, 
And let them in thy luster glow, 

The lights of a benighted land, 
The angels of thy Church below. 

3 Make good their apostolic boast; 
Their high commission let them prove ; 

Be temples of the Holy Ghost, 
And filled with faith, and hope, and 
love. 

4 Give them an ear to hear thy word ; 
Thou speakest to the churches now : 

And let all tongues confess their Lord ; 
Let every knee to Jesus bow.

1 And let our bodies part, 
To different climes repair ; 

Inseparably joined in heart 
The friends of Jesus are. 

2 let us still proceed 
In Jesus' work below ; 

And, following our triumphant Head, 
To further conquests go. 

3 The vineyard of the Lord 
Before his laborers lies ; 

And lo! we see the vast reward 
Which waits us in the skies. 

4 O that our heart and mind 
May evermore ascend, 

That haven of repose to And, 
Where all our labors end ; 

5 Where all our toils are o'er. 
Our suffering and our pain ! 

Who meet on that eternal shore 
Shall never part again. 

6 happy, happy place, 
Where saints and angels meet ! 

There we shall see each other's face, 
And all our brethren greet: 

7 The Church of the first-born, 
We shall with them be blest, 

And, crowned with endless joy, return 
To our eternal rest. 

CHABLES WESLEY. 

Ol7 Success certain. 

1 Lord, if at thy command 

The word of life we sow, 
Watered by thy almighty hand, 

The seed shall surely grow : 



The virtue of thy grace 

A large increase shall give, 
And multiply the faithful race 

Who to thy glory live. 
2 Now, then, the ceaseless shower 

Of gospel blessings send, 
And let the soul-converting power 

Thy ministers attend. 
On multitudes confer 

The heart-renewing love, 
And by the joy of grace prepare 

For fuder joys above. 

CHARLES WESL2YJ 

Olb The laborers are few. 

1 Lord of the harvest, hear 
Thy needy servants' cry; 

Answer our faith's effectual prayer, 
And all our wants supply. 

2 On thee we humbly wait ; 
Our wants are in thy view ; 

The harvest, truly, Lord, is great, 
The laborers are few. 

3 Convert and send forth more 
Into thy Church abroad, 

And let them speak thy word of power 
As workers with their God. 

4 O let them spread thy name, 
Their mission fully prove; 

Thy universal grace proclaim, 
Thine all-redeeming love. 



Doxology. 

To God, the Father, Son, 
And Spirit, One in Three, 

Be glory, as it was, is now, 
And shall forever be.

1 Father of mercies, bow thine ear, 
Attentive to our earnest prayer : 

We plead for those who plead for thee ; 
Successful pleaders may they be. 

2 clothe their words with power divine, 
And let those words be ever thine; 

To them thy sacred truth reveal ; 
Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. 

3 Teach them to sow the precious seed ; 
Teach them thy chosen flock to feed; 
Teach them immortal souls to gain, 
Nor let them labor, Lord, in vain. 

4 Let thronging multitudes around 
Hear from their lips the joyful sound ; 
In humble strains thy grace implore, 
And feel thy Spirit's living power.

"Bid the whole world my grace receive; 

He shall be saved who trusts my word ; 
He shall be damned who won't believe. 

2 " I '11 make your great commission known 
And ye shall prove my gospel true, 

By all the works that I "have done, 
By all the wonders ye shall do. 

3 "Teach all the nations my commands,

821 The joyful sound. 

1 How beauteous are their feet 
Who stand on Zion's hill, 

Who bring salvation on their tongues, 
And words of peace reveal I 

2 How charming is their voice, 
How sweet the tidings are ! 

"Zion, behold thy Saviour King; 
He reigns and triumphs here." 

3 How happy are our ears, 
That hear the joyful sound, 

Which kings and prophets waited for, 
And sought, but never found ! 

4 How blessed are our eyes, 
That see this heavenly light ! 

Prophets and kings desired it long, 
But died without the sight. 

5 The watchmen join their voice, 
And tuneful notes employ; 

Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, 
And deserts learn the joy. 

6 The Lord makes bare his arm 
Through all the earth abroad; 

Let every nation now behold 
Their Saviour and their God.

For souls which must forever live

And watch thou daily o'er their souls, 
That they may watch for thee.

And let it swiftly run; 

And let the priests themselves believe, 
And put salvation on. 

2 Jesus, let all thy servants shine 
Illustrious as the sun; 

And, bright with borrowed rays divine, 
Their glorious circuit run. 

3 As giants may they run their race, 
Exulting in their might ; 

As burning luminaries, chase 
The gloom of hellish night. 

4 As the bright Sun of righteousness, 
Their healing wings display ; 

And let their luster still increase 
Unto the perfect day.

The souls we here present to thee, 

And fit for thy great service make 

These heirs of immortality ; 
And let them in thine image rise, 
And then transplant to paradise. 

2 Unspotted from the world, and pure, 
Preserve them for thy glorious cause, 

Accustomed daily to endure 

The welcome burden of thy cross ; 
Inured, to toil and patient pain, 
Till all thy perfect mind they gain.

Or send them to proclaim the word, 

Thy gospel through the world to spread 
Freely as they receive to give, 
And preach the death by which we live.

1 I am baptized into thy name, 
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ! 

Among thy seed a place I claim, 
Among thy consecrated host; 

Buried with Christ and dead to sin, 

Thy Spirit now shall live within. 



2 My loving Father, here dost thou 
Proclaim me as thy child and heir ; 

Thou, faithful Saviour, bidd'st me now 

The fruit of all thy sorrows share ; 
Thou, Holy Ghost, wilt comfort me • 
When darkest clouds around I see. 

3 Hence, Prince of darkness! hence, my 

foe! 

Another Lord hath purchased me ; 
My conscience tells of sin, yet know, 

Baptized in Christ, I fear not thee : 
Away, vain world ! sin, leave me now ! 
I turn from you ; God hears my vow. 

4 And never let me waver more, 
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ; 

Till at thy will this life is o'er, 

Still keep me in thy faithful host, 
So unto thee 1 live and die, 
And praise thee evermore on high.

With all-engaging charms ; 

Hark, how he calls the tender lambs, 
And folds them in his arms!

"Nor scorn their humble name; 

For 'twas to bless such souls as these

To little children he extends 
The riches of his grace. 

2 He still the ancient promise keeps, 
To our forefathers given ; 

Our infants in his arms he takes, 
And calls them heirs of heaven. 

3 Forbid them not, whom Jesus calls, 
Nor dare the claim resist, 

Since his own lips to us declare 
Of such will heaven consist.

We give them up to thee; 

Receive them, Lord, into thine arms ; 
Thine may they ever be.

Of this the outward seal, 



Do thou the truths herein set forth 
To every heart reveal. 

2 Death to the world we here avow, 
Death to each fleshly lust; 

Newness of life our calling now, 
A risen Lord our trust. 

3 And we, Lord, who now partake 
Of resurrection life, 

With every sin, for toy dear sake, 
Would be at constant strife. 

4 Baptized into the Father's name, 
We'd walk as sons of God; 

Baptized in thine, we own thy claim 
As ransomed by thy blood. 

5 Baptized into the Holy Ghost, 
We 'd keep his temple pure, 

And make thy grace our only boast, 
And by thy strength endure.

Its willing soul to keep thy law ; 
May virtue, piety, and truth, 
Dawn even with its dawning youth. 

3 We, too, before thy gracious sight, 
Once shared the blest baptismal rite, 



And would renew its solemn vow 

With love, and thanks, and praises, now. 

4 Grant that, with true and faithful heart, 
We still may act the Christian's part, 
Cheered by each promise thou hast given, 
And laboring for the prize in heaven.

[L. M. 6 1. Tune, Selena. Page 82.] 
C$€> O The Lord's Supper instituted. 

1 In that sad, memorable night, 
When Jesus was for us betrayed, 

He left his death-recording rite : 

He took, and blest, and brake the bread ; 
And gave his own their last bequest, 
And thus his love's intent expressed : 

2 "Take, eat, this is my body, given 
To purchase life and peace for you, 

Pardon, and holiness, and heaven : 
Do this, my dying love to show : 
Accept your precious legacy, 
And thus, my friends, remember me." 

3 He took into his hands the cup, 
To crown the sacramental feast, 

And, full of kind concern, looked up, 

And gave to them what he had blest : 
And, "Drink ye all of this," he said, 
" In solemn memory of the dead. 

4 " This is my blood, which seals the new 
Eternal covenant of my grace ; 

My blood, so freely shed for you, 
For you and all the sinful race ; 
My blood, that speaks your sins forgiven. 
And justifies your claim to heaven."

00-± The invitation. 

1 The King of heaven his table spreads, 
And blessings crown the board ; 

Not paradise, with all its joys, 
Could such deligbt afford. 

2 Pardon and peace to dying men, 
And endless life are given, 

Through the rich blood that Jesus shed 
To raise our souls to heaven. 

3 Millions of souls, in glory now, 
Were fed and feasted here ; 

And millions more, still on the way, 
Around the board appear. 

4 All things are ready, come away, 
Nor weak excuses frame ; 

Crowd to your places at the feast, 
And bless the Founder's name. 



830 Approaching the table. 

1 Jesus, at whose supreme command, 
We now approach to God, 

Before us in thy vesture stand, 
Thy vesture dipped in blood. 

2 The tokens of thy dying love 
let us all receive, 

And feel the quickening Spirit move, 
An d sensibly believe. 

3 The cup of blessing, blest by thee, 
Let it thy blood impart ; 

The bread thy mystic body be, 
To cheer each languid heart. 



4 The living bread sent down from heaven, 

In us vouchsafe to be : 
Thy flesh for all the world is given, 

And all may live by thee. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

Ci'^v) Grateful remembrance. 

1 According to thy gracious word, 
In meek humility, 

This will I do, my dying Lord, 
I will remember thee I 

2 Thy body, broken for my sake, 
My bread from heaven shall be ; 

Thy testamental cup I take, 
And thus remember thee I 

3 Gethsemane can I forget? 
Or there thy conflict see, 

Thine agony and bloody sweat, 
And not remember thee? 

4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes. 
And rest on Calvary, 

O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice, 
I must remember thee I 

5 Remember thee, and all thy pains, 
And all thy love to me ; 

Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains. 
Will I remember thee ! 

6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, 
And mind and memory flee, 

When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, 
Jesus, remember me !

1 Love divine ! matchless grace ! 
Which in this sacred rite 

Shines forth so full, so free, in rays 
Of purest living light. 

2 O wondrous death ! precious blood ! 
For us so freely spilt, 

To cleanse our sin-polluted souls 
From every stain of guilt. 

3 O covenant of life and peace. 
By blood and suffering sealed ! 

All the rich gifts of gospel grace 
Are here to faith revealed. 

4 Jesus, we bow our souls to thee, 
Our life, our hope, our all, 

While we, with thankful, contrite hearts, 
Thy dying love recall.

Be written on our minds ; 

Nor earth, nor self, nor sin obscure 
The ever-radiant lines.

1 In memory of the Saviour's love, 
We keep the sacred feast, 

Where every humble, contrite heart 
Is made a welcome guest. 

2 By faith we take the bread of life, 
With which our souls are fed ; 

The cup, in token of his blood, 
That was for sinners shed.

The wonders of his love, 

And thus anticipate by faith 
The heavenly feast above.

And owns the grateful tie ; 

If tender thoughts within us burn 
To feel a friend is nigh ; 

2 O shall not warmer accents tell 
The gratitude we owe 

To Him who died our fears to quell, 
And save from endless woe? 

3 While yet in anguish he surveyed 
Those pangs he would not flee, 

What love his latest words displayed I 
" Meet, and remember me." 

4 Remember thee I thy death, thy shame, 
The griefs which thou didst bear !

So deeply graven there.

1 That doleful night before his death, 
The Lamb, for sinners slain, 

Did, almost with his dying breath, 
This solemn feast ordain. 

2 To keep the feast, Lord, we have met. 
And to remember thee : 

Help each poor trembler to repeat, 
" For me he died, for me I " 

3 Thy sufferings, Lord, each sacred sign 
To our remembrance brings ; 

We eat the bread, and drink the wine, 
But think on nobler things. 

4 O tune our tongues, and set in frame 
Each heart that pants for thee, 

To sing, "Hosanna to the Lamb, 
The Lamb that died for me!"

o4rl Universal gladness. 

1 Glory to God on high, 

Our peace is made with Heaven ; 
The Son of God came down to die, 
That we might be forgiven. 

2 His precious blood was shed, 
His body bruised, for sin : 

Remember this in eating bread, 
And this in drinking wine. 

3 Approach his royal board, 
In his rich garments clad; 

Join every tongue to praise the Lord, 
And every heart be glad. 

4 The Father gives the Son : 
The Son, his flesh and blood ; 

The Spirit seals ; and faith puts on 
The righteousness of God. 

JOSEPH HART.- 



o4r^3 A foretaste of glory. 

1 what delight is this, 
Which now in Christ we know, 

An earnest of our glorious bliss, 
Our heaven begun below I 

2 When he the table spreads, 
How royal is the cheer ! 

With rapture we lift up our heads, 
And own that God is here. 

3 The Lamb for sinners slain, 
Who died to die no more, 

Let all the ransomed sons of men, 
With all his hosts, adore.

4 Let earth and heaven be joined, 

His glories to display, 
And hymn the Saviour of mankind 

In one eternal day. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

o4rO His the pain— ours the joy. 

1 No gospel like this feast 
Spread for Thy Church by thee; 

Nor prophet nor evangelist 
Preach the glad news so free. 

2 All our redemption cost, 
All our redemption won ; 

All it has won for us, the lost; 
All it cost thee, the Son. 

3 Thine was the bitter price, 
Ours is the free gift, given ; 

Thine was the blood of sacrifice, 
Ours is the wine of heaven. 

4 Here we would rest midway, 
As on a sacred height, 

That darkest and that brightest day 
Meeting before our sight. 

5 From that dark depth of woes 
Thy love for us has trod, 

Up to the heights of blest repose 
Thy love prepares with God; 

6 Till from self's chains released, 
One sight alone we see, 

Still at the cross, as at the feast, 
Behold thee, only thee.

8 4: 4r ?7h? memorial feast maintained. 

1 Many centuries have fled 
Since our Saviour broke the bread, 
And this sacred feast ordained, 
Ever by his Church retained: 
Those his body who discern, 
Thus shall meet till his return. 

2 Through the Church's long eclipse, 
When, from priest or pastor's lips, 
Truth divine was never heard,— 
'Mid the famine of the word, 

Still these symbols witness gave 
To his love who died to save. 

3 All who bear tbe Saviour's name, 
Here their common faith proclaim; 
Though diverse in tongue or rite, 
Here, one body, we unite ; 
Breaking thus one mystic bread, 
Members of one common Head. 

4 Come, the blessed emblems share, 
Which the Saviour's death declare ; 
Come, on truth immortal feed ; 
For his flesh is meat indeed : 
Saviour, witness with the sign, 
That our ransomed souls are thine. 



JOSIAH CO.NDEK. 



84r*5 Till He come. 

1 "Till He come:" let the words 
Linger on the trembling chords ; 

21 



315 



Let the little while between 
In their golden light be seen ; 
Let us think how heaven and home 
Lie beyond that — "Till he come." 

2 When the weary ones we love 
Enter on their rest above. 
Seems the earth so poor and vast, 
All our life-joy overcast ? 
Hush, be every murmur dumb ; 
It is only—" Till he come." 

3 See, the feast of love is spread, 
Drink the wine, and break the bread ; 
Sweet memorials,— till the Lord 

Call us round his heavenly board; 
Some from earth, from glory some, 
Severed only— "Till he come." 

EDWARD H. BICKEESTETH.

8<4r0 Our Paschal Lamb. 

1 Let all who truly bear 

The bleeding Saviour's name, 
Their faithful hearts with us prepare, 
And eat the Paschal Lamb. 

2 This eucharistic feast 
Our every want supplies, 

And still we by his death are blest, 
And share his sacrifice. 

3 Who thus our faith employ, 
His sufferings to record, 

E'en now we mournfully enjoy 
Communion with our Lord. 

4 We too with him are dead, 
And shall with him arise ; 

The cross on which he bows his head 
Shall lift us to the skies.

o4: / Praise to our victorious King. 

1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing 
Praise to our victorious King, 
Who hath washed us in the tide 
Flowing from his pierc6d side ; 

2 Praise we him, whose love divine 
Gives his sacred blood for wine, 
Gives his body for the feast, 
Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. 

3 Where the paschal blood is poured, 
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; 
Israel's hosts triumphant go 
Through the wave that drowns the foe. 

4 Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, 
Paschal Victim, paschal Bread; 

With sincerity and love 
Eat we manna from above. 

5 Mighty Victim from the sky! 
Hell's tierce powers beneath thee lie ; 
Thou hast conquered in the fight, 
Thou hast brought us lif e and light : 

6 Now no more can death appall, 
Now no more the grave enthrall ; 
Thou hast opened paradise, 
And in thee thy saints shall rise.

o4rO Discerning the Lord's body, 

1 Jesus, all-redeeming Lord, 
Magnify thy dying word ; 

In thine ordinance appear ; 

Come, and meet thy followers here. 

2 In the rite thou hast enjoined, 
Let us now our Saviour find ; 
Drink thy blood for sinners shed, 
Taste thee in the broken bread. 



3 Thou our faithful hearts prepare; 
Thou thy pardoning grace declare ; 
Thou that hast for sinners died, 
Show thyself the Crucified 1 

4 All the power of sin remove ; 
Fill us with thy perfect love ; 
Stamp us with the stamp divine 
Seal our souls forever thine.

1 O Bread to pilgrims given, 
O Food that angels eat, 

O Manna sent from heaven, 
For heaven-born natures meet; 

Give us, for thee long pining, 
To eat till richly filled ; 

Till, earth's delights resigning, 
Our every wish is stilled. 

2 O Water, life bestowing, 
From out the Saviour's heart, 

A fountain purely flowing, 

A fount of love thou art: 
O let us, freely tasting, 

Our burning thirst assuage; 
Thy sweetness, never wasting, 

Avails from age to age. 

3 Jesus, this feast receiving, 
We thee unseen adore ; 

Thy faithful word believing, 
We take, and doubt no more : 

Give us, thou true and loving, 
On earth to live in thee ; 

Then, death the veil removing, 
Thy glorious face to see.

Is here, in this memorial bread ;

Until the ancient graves be stirred,

The name by heaven and earth adored. 
Fain would our hearts and voices raise 
A cheerful song of sacred praise. 

2 But all the notes which mortals know, 
Are weak, and languishing, and low ; 
Far, far above our humble songs, 

The theme demands immortal tongues. 

3 Yet while around his board we meet, 
And humbly worship at his feet, 

O let our warm affections move, 
In glad returns of grateful love. 

4 Let humble, penitential woe, 
In tears of godly sorrow flow ; 
And thy forgiving smiles impart 
Life, hope, and joy to every heart.

And thy fullest benediction 
Shed within its walls alway.

What they gain from thee forever 

With the blessed to retain, 
And hereafter in thy glory

Man from error to reclaim, 
And for sinners to atone, 
Bless, with thee, this corner-stone.

To the heart by sin oppressed, 
And the seeds of truth be sown, 
Where we lay this corner-stone.

For the outcast and the poor, 
Who can call no house their own,

o59 Laying the foundation. 

1 Lord of hosts, whose glory fills 
The bounds of the eternal hills, 

And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands, 
To dwell in temples made with hands; 

2 Grant that all we who here to-day 
Rejoicing this foundation lay, 

May be in very deed thine own, 
Built on the precious Corner-stone. 

3 Endue the creatures with thy grace 
That shall adorn thy dwelling-place ; 
The beauty of the oak and pine, 

The gold and silver, make them thine. 

4 To thee they all pertain ; to thee 
The treasures of the earth and sea; 
And when we bring them to thy throne 
We but present thee with thine own. 

5 The heads that guide endue with skill ; 
The hands that work preserve from ill ; 
That we, who these foundations lay, 
May raise the topstone in its day.

OOU JehovaWs presence. 

1 Not heaven's wide range of hallowed 

space 
Jehovah's presence can confine ; 
Nor angels' claims restrain his grace, 
Whose glories through creation shine. 

2 It beamed on Eden's guilty days, 

And traced redemption's wondrous plan ; 
From Calvary, in brightest rays, 
It glowed to guide benighted man. 

3 Its sacred shrine it fixes there, 
Where two or three are met to raise 



Their holy hands in humble prayer, 
Or tune their hearts to grateful praise. 

4 Be this, O Lord, that honored place, 
The house of God, the gate of heaven ; 

And may the fullness of thy grace 
To all who here shall meet be given. 

5 And hence, in spirit, may we soar 

To those bright courts where seraphs 
bend; 
With awe like theirs, on earth adore, 
Till with their anthems ours shall blend. 

UNKNOWN. 

Owl God's guardian presence. 

1 This stone to thee in faith we lay ; 
To thee this temple, Lord, we build ; 

Thy power and goodness here display, 
And be it with thy presence filled. 

2 Here, when thy people seek thy face, 
And dying sinners pray to live, 

Hear thou in heaven, thy dwelling-place. 
And when thou hearest, Lord, forgive I 

3 Here, when thy messengers proclaim 
The blessed gospel of thy Son, 

Still, by the power of his great name, 
Be mighty signs and wonders done. 

4 But will indeed Jehovah deign 
Here to abide, no transient guest? 

Here will the world's Redeemer reign? 
And here the Holy Spirit rest? 

5 Thy glory never hence depart ; 

Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone ; 
Thy kingdom, come to every heart, 
In every bosom fix thy throne.

2 He hung its starry roof on high, 
The broad expanse of azure sky ; 

He spread its pavement, green and blight, 
And curtained it with morning light. 

3 The mountains in their places stood, 
The sea, the sky ; and all was good ; 
And when its first pure praises rang, 
"The morning stars together sang." 

4 Lord, 'tis not ours to make the sea. 
And earth, and sky, a house for thee ; 
But in thy sight our offering stands, 

A humbler temple, "made with hands."

Ov)4: Seeking a tabernacle. 

1 When to the exiled seer were given 
Those rapturous views of highest heaven, 
All glorious though the visions were, 
Yet he beheld no temple there. 



321 



2 The new Jerusalem on high 
Hath one pervading sanctity ; 

No sin to mourn, no grief to mar, 
God and the Lamb its temple are. 

3 But we, frail sojourners below, 
The pilgrim heirs of guilt and woe, 
Must seek a tabernacle where 

Our scattered souls may blend in prayer. 

4 O Thou, who o'er the cherubim 
Didst shine in glories veiled and dim, 
With purer light our temple cheer, 
And dwell in unveiled glory here.

QUO Invoking God's presence. 

1 Great King of glory, come, 
And with thy favor crown 

This temple as thy home, 
This people as thine own : 
Beneath this roof, O deign to show 
How God can dwell with men below. 

2 Here may thine ears attend 
Our interceding cries, 



And grateful praise ascend, 
Like incense, to the skies : 
Here may thy word melodious sound, 
And spread celestial joys around. 

3 Here may our unborn sons 
And daughters sound thy praise, 

And shine, like polished stones, 
Through long-succeeding days : 
Here, Lord, display thy saving power, 
While temples stand and men adore. 

4 Here may the listening throng 
Receive thy truth in love; 

Here Christians join the song 
Of seraphim above ; 
Till all, who humbly seek thy face, 
Rejoice in thy abounding grace.

866 Dedication of a hall of science. 

1 The Lord our God alone is strong ; 
His hands build not for one brief day ; 

His wondrous works, through ages long, 
His wisdom and his power display. 

2 His mountains lift their solemn forms, 
To watch in silence o'er the land ; 



The rolling ocean, rocked with storms, 
Sleeps in the hollow of his hand. 

3 Beyond the heavens he sits alone, 
The universe obeys his nod ; 

The lightning-rifts disclose his throne, 
And thunders voice the name of God. 



322 



THE CHUECH— CHURCH WORK: ERECTION OF CHURCHES. 



4 Thou sovereign God, receive this gift 
Thy willing servants offer thee ; 

Accept the prayers that thousands lift, 
And let these halls thy temple be. 

5 And let those learn, who here shall meet. 
True wisdom is with reverence crowned, 

And Science walks with humble feet 
To seek the God that Faith hath found. 



86/ The tokens of His grace. 
1 And will the great eternal God 
On earth establish his abode? 



And will he, from his radiant throne, 
Accept our temples for his own? 

2 These walls we to thy honor raise : 
Long may they echo with thy praise : 
And thou, descending, fill the place 
With choicest tokens of thy grace. 

3 Here let the great Redeemer reign, 
With all the graces of his train ; 
While power divine his word attends, 
To conquer foes, and cheer his friends. 

4 And in the great decisive dav, 
When God the nations shall survey, 
May it before the world appear 
That crowds were born to glory here.

Q^Q Tf7iere is the house that ye build unto 
^^^ Jtfe?--Ua. 66:1. 

1 Wf rear not a temple, like Judah's of old. 
Whose portals were marble, whose vault- 
ings were gold ; 

No incense is lighted, no victims are slain, 
No monarch kneels praying to hallow the 
fane. 

2 More simple and lowly the walls that we 

raise, 

And humbler the pomp of procession and 
praise, 

Where the heart is the altar whence in- 
cense shall roll, 

And Messiah the King who shall pray for 
the soul. 

3 Father, come in ! but not in the cloud 
Which filled the bright courts where thy 

chosen ones bowed ; 

3 



! But come in that Spirit of glorv and grace, 
j Which beams on the soul and illumines the 
race. 

4 come in the power of thy life-giving 

word, 
And reveal to each heart its Redeemer and 

Lord; 
Till faith bring the peace to the penitent 

given, 
And love fill the air with the fragrance of 

heaven. 

5 The pomp of Moriah has long passed 

away, 
And soon shall our frailer erection decay ; 
But the souls that are builded in worship 

and love 
Shall be temples to God, everlasting above.

869 Dedication hymn. 

1 Thou, whose own vast temple stands, 
Built over earth and sea, 

Accept the walls that human hands 
Have raised to worship thee ! 

2 Lord, from thine inmost glory send, 
Within these courts to bide, 

The peace that dwelleth without end, 
Serenely by thy side ! 

3 May erring minds that worship here 
Be taught the better way ; 

And they who mourn, and they who fear, 
Be strengthened as they pray. 

4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, 
And pure devotion rise, 

While round these hallowed walls the storm, 
Of earthborn passion dies. 

WILLIAM C. BRYANT. 

870 Blessings entreated. 

1 O God, though countless worlds of light 
Thy power and glory show. 

Though round thy throne, above all height, 
Immortal seraphs glow,— 

2 Yet, Lord, where'er thy saints apart 
Are met for praise and prayer, 

Wherever sighs a contrite heart. 
Thou, gracious God, art there. 

3 With grateful joy, thy children rear 
This temple, Lord, to thee ; 

Long may thev sing thy praises here, 
And here thy beauty see. 

4 Here, Saviour, deign thy saints to meet ; 
With peace their hearts to fill ; 



And here, like Sharon's odors sweet, 
May grace divine distill. 

5 Here may thy truth fresh triumphs win ; 

Eternal Spirit, here, 
In many a heart now dead in sin, 

A living temple rear. 

J. D. KN0WLE8.

o7x The honor and safety of a nation. 

1 Great is the Lord our God, 
And let his praise be great ; 

He makes his churches his abode, 
His most delightful seat. 

2 These temples of his grace, 
How beautiful they stand ! 

The honors of our native place, 
And bulwarks of our land. 

3 In Zion God is known, 
A refuge in distress ; 

How bright has his salvation shone 
Through all her palaces ! 

4 In every new distress 
We '11 to his house repair ; 

We '11 think upon his wondrous grace, 
And seek deliverance there.

1 Saviour, like a shepherd lead us, 
Much we need thy tenderest care ; 

In thy pleasant pastures feed us, 
For our use thy folds prepare : 

Blessed Jesus, 
Thou hast bought us, thine we are. 

2 We are thine, do thou befriend us, 
Be the guardian of our way ; 

Keep thy flock, from sin defend us, 
Seek us when we go astray : 

Blessed Jesus, 
Hear, hear us, when we pray. 

3 Thou hast promised to receive us, 
Poor and sinful though we be ; 

Thou hast mercy to relieve us, 
Grace to cleanse, and power to free 

Blessed Jesus, 
We will early turn to thee. 

4 Early let us seek thy favor, 
Early let us do thy will; 

Blessed Lord and only Saviour, 
With thy love our bosoms fill : 

Blessed Jesus, 
Thou hast loved us, love us still. 



O/O For early piety. 

1 God has said, "Forever blessed 
Those who seek me in their youth ; 

They shall find the path of wisdom, 
And the narrow way of truth: " 

Guide us, Saviour, 
In the narrow way of truth. 



$:-- 






2 Be our strength, for we are weakness ; 
Be our wisdom and our guide ; 

May we walk in love and meekness, 
Nearer to our Saviour's side : 

Naught can harm us, 
While we thus in thee abide. 

3 Thus, when evening shades shall gather, 
We may turn our tearless eye 

To the dwelling of our Father, 
To our home beyond the sky ; 

Gently passing 
To the happy land on high.

0/~t Children's hymn. 

1 Children, loud hosannas singing, 
Hymned Thy praise in olden time, 

Judah's ancient temple filling 
With the melody sublime ; 

Infant voices 
Joined to swell the holy chime. 

2 Though no more the incarnate Saviour 
We behold in latter days ; 

Though a temple far less glorious 
Echoes now the songs we raise ; 

Still in glory 
Thou wilt hear our notes of praise. 

3 Loud we'll swell the pealing anthem, 
All thy wondrous acts proclaim, 

Till all heaven and earth resounding, 
Echo with thy glorious name ; 

Hallelujah. 
Hallelujah to the Iamb !

375 77ie Christian child. 

1 By cool Siloam's shady rill 
How sweet the lily grows ! 

How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, 
Of Sharon's dewy rose ! 

2 Lo! such the child whose early feet 
The paths of peace have trod ; 

Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, 
Is upward drawn to God. 

3 By cool Siloam's shady rill 
The lily must decay ; 

The rose that blooms beneath the hill 
Must shortly fade away. 

4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour 
Of man's maturer age 

Will shake the soul with sorrow's power, 
And stormy passion's rage. 

5 O Thou, whose infant feet were found 
Within thy Father's shrine, 

Whose years, with changeless virtue 
crowned, 
Were all alike divine ; 

6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath, 
We seek thy grace alone, 

In childhood, manhood, age, and death, 
To keep us still thine own.

Come, sing in joyful songs of praise

And. loudest praises give 

To him who left his throne above, 
And died that you might live, 

3 Sing of the wonders of his truth, 
And read in every page 

The promise made to earliest youth 
Fulfilled to latest age.

Who with his own right arm 

Upholds and keeps you hour by hour, 
And shields from every harm.

And turn the rising race 

From the deceitful paths of sin, 
To seek redeeming grace. 

2 Children our kind protection claim ; 
And God will well approve 

When infants learn to lisp his name, 
And their Redeemer love. 

3 Be ours the bliss, in wisdom's way 
To guide untutored youth, 

And show the mind which went astray 
The Way, the Life, the Truth. 

4 Almighty God, thine influence shed, 
To aid this blest design ; 

The honors of thy name be spread, 
And all the glory thine.

1 Wilt thou hear the voice of praise 
Which the little children raise, 
Thou who art, from endless days, 

Glorious God of all? 
While the circling year has sped, 
Thou hast heavenly blessings shed, 
Like the dew, upon each head ; 

Still on thee we call. 

2 Still thy constant care bestow ; 
Let us each in wisdom grow, 
And in favor while below, 

With the God above. 
In our hearts the Spirit mild, 
Which adorned the Saviour-child, 
Gently soothe each impulse wild 

To the sway of love. 

3 Thine example, kept in view, 
Jesus, help us to pursue ; 
Lead us all our journey through 

By thy guiding hand ; 
And when life on earth is o'er, 
Where the blest dwell evermore, 
May we praise thee and adore, 

An unbroken band.

000 Tfce Lord's love to children. 

1 When, his salvation bringing, 
To Zion Jesus came, 

The children all stood singing 

Hosanna to his name ; 
Nor did their zeal offend him, 

But as he rode along, 
He let them still attend him, 

And smiled to hear their song. 

2 And since the Lord retaineth 
His love to children still, 

Though now as King he reigneth 

On Zion's heavenly hill, 
We '11 flock around his banner, 

We '11 bow before his throne, 
And cry aloud, " Hosanna 

To David's royal Son." 

3 For should we fail proclaiming 
Our great Redeemer's praise, 

The stones, our silence shaming, 
Would their hosannas raise. 

But shall we only render 
The tribute of our words? 

No ; while our hearts are tender, 
They too shall be the Lord's, 

JOHN KING. 




Oo4: Grateful praise. 

1 We bring no glittering treasures, 
No gems from earth's deep mine; 

We come, with simple measures, 

To chant Thy love divine. 
Children, thy favors sharing, 

Their voice of thanks would raise ; 
Father, accept our offering, 

Our song of grateful praise. 

2 The dearest gift of Heaven, 
Love's written word of truth, 

To us is early given, 

To guide our steps in youth ; 
We hear the wondrous story, 

The tale of Calvary ; 
We read of homes in glory, 

From sin and sorrow free. 

3 Redeemer, grant thy blessing! 
teach us how to pray, 

That each, thy fear possessing, 
May tread lif e's onward way ; 

Then, where the pure are dwelling 
We hope to meet again, 

And, sweeter numbers swelling, 
Forever praise thy name.

885 Shepherd of tender youth. 

1 Shepherd of tender youth, 
Guiding in love and truth 

Through devious ways ; 
Christ our triumphant King, 
We come thy name to sing ; 
Hither our children bring 

To shout thy praise. 

2 Thou art our holy Lord, 
The all-subduing Word, 

Healer of strife : 
Thou dost thyself abase, 
That from sin's deep disgrace 
Thou mightest save our race, 

And give us life. 

3 Thou art the great High Priest; 
Thou hast prepared the feast 

Of heavenly love ; 
While in our mortal pain 
None calls on thee in vain ; 
Help thou dost not disdain, 

Help from above. 

4 Ever be thou our guide, 
Our shepherd and our pride, 

Our staff and song : 
Jesus, thou Christ of God, 
By thy perennial word 
Lead us where thou hast trod, 

Make our faith strong. 



5 So now, and till we die, 
Sound we thy praises high, 

And joyful sing : 
Infants, and the glad throng 
Who to thy Church belong, 
Unite to swell the song 

To Christ our King.

000 Early piety. 

1 I love to hear the story 
Which angel voices tell, 

How once the King of glory 
Came down on earth to dwell. 

1 am both weak and sinful, 
But this I surely know, 

The Lord came down to save me, 
Because he loved me so. 

2 I 'm glad my blessed Saviour 
Was once a child like me, 

To show how pure and holy 

His little ones may be ; 
And if I try to follow 

His footsteps here below, 
He never will forget me, 

Because he loves me so. 

3 To sing his love and mercy 
My sweetest songs I'll raise; 

And though I cannot see him 
I know he hears my praise; 

For he has kindly promised 
That even I may go 

To sing among his angels, 
Because he loves me so.

C5o# For a blessing on children. 

1 Holy Father, send thy blessing 
On thy children gathered here ; 

Let them all, thy name confessing, 

Be to thee forever dear. 
Holy Saviour, who in meekness 

Didst vouchsafe a child to be ; 
Guide their steps and help their weakness, 

Bless, and make them like to thee. 

2 Bear the lambs, when they are weary, 
In thine arms and at thy breast ; 

Through life's desert dark and dreary 
Bring them to thy heavenly rest. 

Spread thy wings of blessing o'er them, 
Holy Spirit, from above ; 

Guide, and lead, and go before them, 
Give them peace, and joy, and love. 

UNKNOWN. 

000 The lambs enfolded. 

1 Saviour, who thy flock art feeding 
With the shepherd's kindest care, 

All the feeble gently leading, 
While the lambs thy bosom share ; 

Now, these little ones receiving, 
Fold them in thy gracious arm ; 

There, we know, thy word believing, 
Only there, secure from harm. 



2 Never, from thy pasture roving, 

Let them be the lion's prey ; 
Let thy tenderness, so loving, 

Keep them all life's dangerous way : 
Then, within thy fold eternal, 

Let them find a resting-place, 
Feed in pastures ever vernal, 

Drink the rivers of thy grace. 

WILLIAM A. MUHLENBERG. 

QQQ He shall gather the lambs ivith 
ww his arm.— Isa. 40: 11. 

1 Gracious Saviour, gentle Shepherd, 
Little ones are dear to thee ; 

Gathered with thine arms, and carried 

In thy bosom may we be ; 
Sweetly, fondly, safely tended, 

From all want and danger free. 

2 Tender Shepherd, never leave us 
From thy fold to go astray ; 

By thy look of love directed 
May we walk the narrow way ; 

Thus direct us, and protect us, 
Lest we fall an easy prey. 

3 Taught to lisp the holy praises 
Which on earth thy children sing, 

Both with lips and hearts unfeigned 
May we our thank-offerings bring ; 

Then with all thy saints in glory 
Join to praise our Lord and King.

OJO T7ie eircls of intemperance. 

1 Mourn lor the thousands slain, 
The youthful and the strong ; 

Mourn for the wine-cup's fearful reign, 
And the deluded throng. 

2 Mourn for the tarnished gem— 
For reason's light divine, 

Quenched from the soul's bright diadem, 
Where God had hid it shine. 

3 Mourn for the ruined soul — 
Eternal life and light 

Lost by the fiery, maddening bowl, 
And turned to hopeless night. 

4 Mourn for the lost,— but call, 
Call to the strong, the free ; 

House them to sbun that dreadful fall, 
And to the refuge flee. 

5 Mourn for the lost, — but pray, 
Pray to our God above, 

To break the fell destroyer's sway, 
And show his saving love. 



891 Christian sympathy. 

1 praise our God to-day, 
His constant mercy bless, 

Whose love hath helped us on our way, 
And granted us success. 

2 His arm the strength imparts 
Our daily toil to bear ; 

His grace alone inspires our hearts, 
Each other's load to share. 

3 O happiest work below, 
Earnest of joy above, 

To sweeten many a cup of woe, 
By deeds of holy love 1 



332 



j - ' 

4 Lord, may it be our choice 
This blessed rule to keep, 

" Kejoice with them that do rejoice, 
And weep with them that weep." 

5 God of the widow, hear, 
Our work of mercy bless ; 

God of the fatherless, be near, 
Ana grant us good success. 

SIB HMBY W. BAKBB. 

89* Ye have done it unto Me. 

1 We give thee but thine own, 
Whate'er the gift may be : 

All that we have is thine alone, 
A trust, O Lord, from thee. 

2 May we thy bounties thus 
As stewards true receive, 

And gladly, as thou blessest us, 
To thee our first-fruits give. 

3 O, hearts are bruised and dead, 
And homes are bare and cold, 

And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled, 
Are straying from the fold I 

4 To comfort and to bless, 
To find a balm for woe, 

To tend the lone and fatherless, 
Is angels' work below. 

5 The captive to release, 
To God the lost to bring, 

To teach the way of life and peace, — 
It is a Christ-like thing. 

6 And we believe thy word, 
Though dim our faith may be ; 

Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, 
We do it unto thee.

Oyd ^lc<s o/ charity. 

1 Jesus, my Lord, how rich thy grace, 
Thy bounties how complete ! 

How shall I count the matchless sum ? 
How pay the mighty debt? 

2 High on a throne of radiant light 
Dost thou exalted shine ; 

What can my poverty bestow, 
When all the worlds are thine ? 

3 But thou hast brethren here below, 
The partners of thy grace, 

And wilt confess their humble names 
Before thy Father's face. 

4 In them thou mayst be clothed and fed, 
And visited and cheered ; 

And in their accents of distress 
My Saviour's voice is heard. 

5 Thy face with reverence and with love, 
I in thy poor would see; 

rather let me beg my bread, 
Than hold it back from thee. 

PHILIP DODDRIDGE. 

8y 4r Sympathy with the afflicted. 

1 Father of mercies, send thy grace, 
All-powerful, from above, 

To form in our obedient souls 
The image of thy love. 

2 O may our sympathizing breasts 
That generous pleasure know, 

Kindly to share in others' joy, 
And weep for others' woe. 

3 When poor and helpless sons of grief 
In deep distress are laid, 



Soft be our hearts their pains to feel, 
And swift our hands to aid. 

4 So Jesus looked on dying man, 
When, throned above the skies, 

And in the Father's bosom blest, 
He felt compassion rise. 

5 On wings of love the Saviour flew, 
To bless a ruined race ; 

We would, Lord, thy steps pursue, 
Thy bright example trace. 

PHILIP DODDKIDGB, 



cSyO Prayer for the intemperate. 

1 'Tis thine alone, almighty Name, 
To raise the dead to life, 

The lost inebriate to reclaim 
From passion's fearful strife. 

2 What ruin hath intemperance wrought ! 
How widely roll its waves ! 

How many myriads hath it brought 
To fill dishonored graves ! 

3 And see, Lord, what numbers still 
Are maddened by the bowl. 

Led captive at the tyrant's will 
In bondage, heart and soul. 

4 Stretch forth thy hand, God, our King, 
And break the galling chain ; 

Deliverance to the captive bring, 
And end the usurper's reign. 

5 The cause of temperance is thine own ; 
Our plans and efforts bless ; 

We trust, O Lord, in thee alone 
To crown them with success.

89 O r/ie 6ox of spikenard. 

1 She loved her Saviour, and to him 
Her costliest present brought; 

To crown his head, or grace his name. 
No gift too rare she thought. 

2 So let the Saviour be adored, 
And not the poor despised ; 

Give to the hungry from your hoard, 
But all, give all to Christ. 

3 Go, clothe the naked, lead the blind, 
Give to the weary rest ; 

For sorrow's children comfort And, 
And help for all distressed ; 

4 But give to Christ alone thy heart, 
Thy faith, thy love supreme; 

Then for his sake thine alms impart, 
And so give all to him. 

WILLIAM CUTTER. 

QQ7 Ye have the poor always icith you. 
"— '^ * Matt. -26:11. 

1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went, 
By lane and cell obscure, 

And let love's treasures still be spent, 
Like his, upon the poor. 

2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress, 
Who bore the world's sad w r eight, 

We, in their crowded loneliness, 
Would seek the desolate. 

3 For thou hast placed us side by side 
In this wide world of ill ; 

And that thy followers may be tried, 
The poor are with us still. 

4 Mean are all offerings we can make ; 
Yet thou hast taught us, Lord, 

If given for the Saviour's sake, 
They lose not their reward. 

WILLIAM CROSWJELL. 



O.Jo Thy neighbor. 

1 Who is thy neighbor ? He whom thou 
Hast power to aid or bless ; 

Whose aching heart or burning brow 
Thy soothing hand may press. 

2 Thy neighbor? 'Tis the fainting poor, 
Whose eye with want is dim ; 

enter thou his humble door, 
With aid and peace for him. 

3 Thy neighbor? He who drinks the cup 
When sorrow drowns the brim; 

With words of high, sustaining hope, 
Go thou and comfort him. 

4 Thy neighbor? Pass no mourner by; 
Perhaps thou canst redeem 

A breaking heart from misery ; 
Go, share thy lot with him. 

WILLIAM B. O. PEABODY. 

C5yy For the inebriate. 

1 Life from the dead, Almighty God, 
'Tis thine alone to give; 

To lift the poor inebriate up, 
And bid the helpless live. 

2 Life from the dead ! For those we plend 
Fast bound in passion's chain, 

That, from their iron fetters freed, 
They wake to life again. 

3 Life from the dead ! Quickened by thee. 
Be all their powers inclined 

To temperance, truth, and piety, 
And pleasures pure, refined. 

4 And may they by thy help abide, 
The tempter's power withstand; 

By grace restored and purified, 
In Christ accepted stand.

y OO For mercy on the drunkard. 

1 When, doomed to death, the apostle lay 
At night in Herod's dungeon cell, 

A light shone round him like the day, 
And from his limbs the fetters fell. 

2 A messenger from God was there, 
To break his chain and bid him rise ; 

And lo ! the saint, as free as air, 
Walked forth beneath the open skies. 

3 Chains yet more strong and cruel bind 
The victims of that deadly thirst 

Which drowns the soul, and from the mind 
Blots the bright image stamped at first. 

4 O God of love and mercy, deign 
To look on those with pitying eye 

Who struggle with that fatal chain, 
And send them succor from on high ! 

5 Send down, in its resistless might, 
Thy gracious Spirit, we implore, 

And lead the captive forth to light, 
A rescued soul, a slave no more ! 

WILLIAM C. BRYANT. 

yOX Temperance hymn. 

1 Bondage and death the cup contains; 
Dash to the earth the poisoned bowl ! 

Softer than silk are iron chains, 
Compared with those that chafe the soul. 

2 Hosannas, Lord, to thee we sing, 
Whose power the giant fiend obeys ; 

What countless thousands tribute bring, 
For happier homes and brighter days ! 

3 Thou wilt not break the bruised reed, 
Nor leave the broken heart unbound ; 

The wife regains a husband freed ! 
The orphan clasps a father found ! 

4 Spare, Lord, the thoughtless, guide the 

blind, 
Till man no more shall deem it just 



To live by forging chains to bind 
His weaker brother in tbe dust. 

LUCIUS M. SARGENT. 

[C. M. Tune, Return. Page 334.] 
yU^ Deeds of love rewarded. 

1 How blest the children of the Lord, 
Who, walking in his sight, 

Make all the precepts of his word 
Their study and delight ! 

2 That precious wealth shall be their dower, 
Which cannot know decay ; 

Which moth or rust shall ne'er devour, 
Or spoiler take away. 

3 For them that heavenly light shall spread 
Whose cheering rays illume 

The darkest hours of life, and shed 
A halo round the tomb. 

4 Their works of piety and love, 
Performed through Christ, their Lord, 

Forever registered above, 
Shall meet a sure reward.

90o Treasures in heaven. 

1 Rich are the joys which cannot die, 
With God laid up in store ; 

Treasures beyond the changing sky, 
Brighter than golden ore. 

2 The seeds which piety ana love 
Have scattered here below, 

In the fair fertile fields above 
To ample harvests grow. 

3 All that my willing hands can give 
At Jesus' feet I lay ; 

Grace shall the humble gift receive, 
Abounding grace repay.

*^ v ^ Acts 20 : 35. 

1 Help us, O Lord, thy yoke to wear, 
Delighting in thy perfect will ; 

Each other's burdens learn to bear, 
And thus thy law of love fulfill. 

2 He that hath pity on the poor 
Lendeth his substance to the Lord ; 

And, lo! his recompense is sure. 
For more than all shall be restored. 

3 Teach us, with glad, ungrudging heart, 
As thou hast blest our various store, 

From our abundance to impart 
A liberal portion to the poor. 

4 To thee our all devoted be, 

In whom we breathe, and move, and live ; 
Freely we have received from thee ; 
Freely may we rejoice to give. 

THOMAS COTTEEILL. 

QOO For a charitable occasion. 

1 Dear ties of mutual succor bind 
The children of our feeble race, 

And if our brethren were not kind, 
This earth were but a weary place. 

2 We lean on others as we walk 

Life's twilight path, with pitfalls strewn ; 
And 'twere an idle boast to talk 
Of treading that dim path alone. 

3 Amid the snares misfortune lays 
Unseen, beneath the steps of all, 

Blest is the love that seeks to raise, 
And stay, and strengthen those who fall; 

4 Till, taught by Him who for our sake 
Bore every form of life's distress, 

With every passing year we make 
The sum of human sorrow less. 

WILLIAM C. BRYANT. 



[7. Tune, Pleyel's Hymn. Page 141.] 
y(JD The wanderer exhorted. 

1 Brother, hast thou wandered far 
From thy Father's happy home, 

With thyself and God at war? 
Turn thee, brother ; homeward come. 

2 Hast thou wasted all the powers 
God for noble uses gave? 

Squandered life's most golden hours? 
Turn thee, brother ; God can save 1 

3 Is a mighty famine now 

In thy heart and in thy soul? 
Discontent upon thy brow? 
Turn thee ; God will make thee whole. 

4 He can heal thy bitterest wound, 
He thy gentlest prayer can hear; 

Seek him, for he may be found ; 
Call upon him ; he is near. 

JAMES F. CLARKE. 

[C. M. Tune, Return. Page 334.] 
yO / The guiding star. 

1 As shadows, cast by cloud and sun, 
Flit o'er the summer grass, 

So, in thy sight, Almighty One, 
Earth's generations pass. 

2 And as the years, an endless host, 
Come swiftly pressing on, 

The brightest names that earth can boast 
Just glisten and are gone. 

3 Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed 
A luster pure and sweet ; 

And still it leads, as once it led, 
To the Messiah's feet. 

4 O Father, may that holy star 
Grow every year more bright, 

And send its glorious beams afar 
To nil the world with light. 

WILLIAM C. BRYANT.

1 Jesus, immortal King, arise; 
Assert thy rightful sway, 

Till earth, subdued, its tribute brings, 
And distant lands obey. 

2 Ride forth, victorious Conqueror, ride, 
Till ail thy foes submit, 

And all the powers of hell resign 
Their trophies at thy feet. 

3 Send forth thy word, and let it fly 
The spacious earth around, 

Till every soul beneath the sun % 
Shall hear the joyful sound. 

4 O may the great Redeemer's name 
Through every clime be known, 

And heathen gods, forsaken, fall, 
And Jesus reign alone.

And earth, with all her millions, shout 
Hosannas to the Lord.

2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, 
Thy beautiful array; 

The day of freedom dawns at length, 
The Lord's appointed day. 



3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge. 
And send thy heralds forth; 

Say to the South, "Give up thy charge ! " 
And, "Keep not back, O North!" 

4 They come, they come; thine exiled

Where'er they rest or roam, 
Have heard thy voice in distant lands, 

And hasten to their home.

And God his works destroy, 
With songs thy ransomed shall return, 

And everlasting joy.

Are treasured in thy mind. 

3 Lord, when shall these glad tidings 

spread 
The spacious earth around, 
Till every tribe and every soul

And build on sin's demolished throne 
The temples of thy praise.

Shall gathered be at last ; 
And from that scattered dust, 

Around us and abroad,

Of witnesses for God.

Their latest living breath ; 

And vain is Satan's boast 

Of victory in their death :

The one availing name.

Streams ever copious are gliding along ; 
Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are

914r The Morning Star. 

1 Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart, 
Star of the coming day. 

Arise, and with thy morning beams 
Chase ail our griefs away! 

2 Come, blessed Lord, let every shore 
And answering island sing 

The praises of thy royal name, 
And own thee as their King. 

3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now 
To the bright world above, 

Break forth in sweetest strains of joy, 
In memory of thy love. 

4 Jesus, thy fair creation groans, 
The air, the earth, the sea, 

In unison with all our hearts, 
And calls aloud for thee. 

5 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits 
Of grace and peace divine : 

Be thine the crown of glory now, 
The palm of victory thine ! 

SIB EDWARD DENNY. 

9lO Reign of Christ foretold. 

1 The Lord w'll come, and not be slow ; 
His footsteps cannot err ; 

Before him Righteousness shall go, 
His royal harbinger. 

2 Mercy and Truth, that long were missed, 
Now joyfully are met ; 

Sweet Peace and Righteousness have kissed, 
And hand in hand are set. 

3 The nations all whom thou hast made 
Shall come, and all shall frame 



339 



To bow them low before thee, Lord ! 
And glorify thy name. 

4 Truth from the earth, like to a flower, 
Shall bud and blossom then, 

And Justice, from her heavenly bower, 
Look down on mortal men. 

5 Thee will I praise, Lord, my God ! 
Thee honor and adore 

With my whole heart ; and blaze abroad 
Thy name for evermore ! 

JOHN MILTON. 



C7 J_0 The earth renewed in righteousness. 

1 Almighty Spirit, now behold 
A world by sin destroyed: 

Creating Spirit, as of old, 
Move on the formless void. 

2 Give thou the word ; that healing sound 
Shall quell the deadly strife ; 

And earth again, like Eden crowned, 
Bring forth the tree of life. 

3 If sang the morning stars for joy, 
When nature rose to view, 

What strains will angel-harps employ, 
When thou shalt all renew ! 

4 And if the sons of God rejoice 
To hear a Saviour's name, 

How will the ransomed raise their voice, 
To whom that Saviour came ! 

5 Lo, every kindred, every tribe, 
Assembling round the throne, 

The new creation shall ascribe, 
To sovereign love alone !

t) 1/ That glorious anthem. 

1 Soon may the last glad song arise, 
Through all the millions of the skies; 
That song of triumph which records 
That all the earth is now the Lord's. 

2 Let thrones, and powers, and king- 

doms be 
Obedient, mighty God, to thee ; 
And over land, and stream, and main, 
Now wave the scepter of thy reign. 

3 let that glorious anthem swell ; 
Let host to host the triumph tell, 
Till not one rebel heart remains, 
But over all the Saviour reigns. 

MRS. VOKE. 

yj_8 The time to favor Zion. 

1 Sovereign of worlds! display thy power; 
Be this thy Zion's favored hour ; 

O bid the morning star arise, 

point the heathen to the skies. 

2 Set up thy throne where Satan reigns, 
In western wilds and eastern plains ; 
Far let the gospel's sound be known ; 
Make thou the universe thine own. 

3 Speak, and the world shall hear thy voice ; 
Speak, and the desert shall rejoice : 
Dispel the gloom of heathen night ; 

Bid every nation hail the light. 

UBS. VOKE. 

y J_y Christ's all-embracing empire. 

1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun 
Does his successive journeys run ; 



His kingdom spread from shore to shore, 
Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 

2 From north to south the princes meet, 
To pay their homage at his feet; 
While western empires own their Lord, 
And savage tribes attend his word. 

3 To him shall endless prayer be made, 
And endless praises crown his head ; 
His name like sweet perfume shall rise 
With every morning sacrifice. 

4 People and realms of every tongue 
Dwell on his love with sweetest song, 
And infant voices shall proclaim 
Their early blessings on his name. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

y^U Triumphs of mercy. 

1 Arm of the Lord, awake, awake ! 
Put on thy strength, the nations shake, 
And let the world, adoring, see 
Triumphs of mercy wrought by thee. 

2 Say to the heathen, from thy throne, 
" I am Jehovah, God alone: " 

Thy voice their idols shall confound, 
And cast their altars to the ground. 

3 No more let creature blood be spilt, 
Vain sacrifice for human guilt ! 

But to each conscience be applied 
The blood that flowed from Jesus' side. 

4 Almighty God, thy grace proclaim, 
In every land, of every name ; 

Till adverse powers before thee fall, 
And crown the Saviour, Lord of all.

t)^l The triumph near. 

1 Eternal Father, thou hast said, 
That Christ all glory shall obtain; 

That he who once a sufferer bled 
Shall o'er the world a conqueror reign. 

2 We wait thy triumph, Saviour King; 
Long ages have prepared thy way ; 

Now all abroad thy banner fling, 
Set time's great battle in array. 

3 Thy hosts are mustered to the field ; 
"The Cross! the Cross!" the battle-call; 

The old grim towers of darkness yield, 
And soon shall totter to their fall, " 

4 On mountain tops the watch-fires glow, 
Where scattered wide the watchmen 

stand ; 
Voice echoes voice, and onward flow 
The joyous shouts from land to land. 

5 fill thy Church with faith and power, 
Bid her long night of weeping cease ; 

To groaning nations haste the hour 
Of life and freedom, light and peace. 

6 Come, Spirit, make thy wonders known, 
Fulfill the Father's high decree; 

Then earth, the might of hell o'erthrown, 
Shall keep her last great jubilee.

1 Assembled at thy great command, 
Before thy face, dread King, we stand ; 
The voice that marshaled every star 
Has called thy people from afar. 



2 We meet through distant lands to spread 
The truth for which the martyrs bled ; 
Along the line, to either pole, 

The anthem of thy praise to roll. 

3 Our prayers assist ; accept our praise ; 
Our hopes revive ; our courage raise ; 
Our counsels aid; to each impart 

The single eye, the faithful heart. 

4 Forth with thy chosen heralds come ; 
Recall the wandering spirits home ; 
From Zion's mount send forth the sound, 
To spread the spacious earth around.

1 Behold, the heathen waits to know 
The joy the gospel will bestow ; 

The exiled captive, to receive 
The freedom Jesus has to give. 

2 Come, let us, with a grateful heai t, 
In this blest labor share a part ; 

Our prayers and offerings gladly bring 
To aid the triumphs of our King. 

3 Our hearts exult in songs of praise 
That we have seen these latter days, 
When our Redeemer shall be known 
Where Satan long hath held his throne. 

4 Where'er his hand hath spread the skies, 
Sweet incense to his name shall rise ; 
And slave and freeman, Greek and Jew, 
By sovereign grace be formed anew.

And flows through every faithful soul, 

Unites in mystic love, and seals

Comfort the people of your Lord ;

And cheer them by the gospe 1 word. 

2 Go into every nation, go ; 
Speak to their trembling hearts, and cry,— 

Glad tidings unto all we show : 
Jerusalem, thy God is nigh. 

3 Hark ! in the wilderness a cry, 
A voice that loudly calls,— Prepare ! 

Prepare your hearts, for God is nigh, 
And waits to make his entrance there. 

4 The Lord your God shall quickly come ; 
Sinners, repent, the call obey : 

Open your hearts to make him room ; 
Ye desert souls, prepare the way. 

5 The Lord shall clear his way through all; 
Whate'er obstructs, obstructs in vain ; 

The vale shall rise, the mountain fall, 
Crooked be straight, and rugged plain. 

6 The glory of the Lord displayed 
Shall all mankind together view ; 

And what his mouch in truth hath said, 
His own almighty hand shall do.

1 Shepherd of souls, with pitying eye 
The thousands of our Israel see ; 

To thee in their behalf we cry, 
Ourselves but newly found in thee. 

2 See where o'er desert wastes they err, 
And neither food nor feeder have, 

Nor fold, nor place of refuge near, 
For no man cares their souls to save. 

3 Thy people, Lord, are sold for naught, 
Nor know they their Redeemer nigh ; 

They perish, whom thyself hast bought ; 
Their souls for lack of knowledge die. 

4 The pit its mouth hath opened wide, 
To swallow up its careless prey : 

Why should they die, when thou 'hast died, 
Hast died to bear their sins away? 

5 Why should the foe thy purchase seize ? 
Remember, Lord, thy dying groans : 

The meed of all thy sufferings these ; 

claim them for thy ransomed ones ! 

CHAKLES WESLEY. 

y^O The Saviour's coming awaited. 

1 Jesus, thy Church, with longing eyes, 
For thine expected coming waits : 

When will the promised light arise, 
And glory beam on Zion's gates? 

2 E'en now, when tempests round us fall, 
And wintry clouds o'ercast the sky, 

Thy words with pleasure we recall, 
And deem that our redemption's nigh. 



343 



3 O come, and reign o'er every land ; 
Let Satan from his throne be hurled, 

All nations bow to thy command, 
And grace revive a dying world. 

4 Teach us, in watchfulness and prayer, 
To wait for thine appointed hour; 

And fit us, by thy grace, to share 
The triumphs of thy conquering power. 

WILLIAM H. BATHUKST. 



y^y For home missions. 

1 Look from thy sphere of endless day, 
God of mercy and of might I 

In pity look on those who stray, 
Benighted, in this land of light. 

2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, 

In crowded mart, by stream or sea, 
How many of the sons of men 
Hear not the message sent from thee ! 

3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call 
The thoughtless young, the hardened old, 

A scattered, homeless flock, till all 
Be gathered to thy peaceful fold. 

4 Send them thy mighty word to speak, 
Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, 

To awe the bold, to stay the weak, 
And bind and heal the broken heart. 

5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, 
That make us sadden as we gaze, 

Shall grow with living waters green, 
And lift to heaven the voice of praise.

t)oO Missionary hymn. 

1 From Greenland's icy mountains, 
From India's coral strand; 

Where Afric's sunny fountains 
Roll down their golden sand ; 

From many an ancient river, 
From many a palmy plain, 

Thev call us to deliver 
Their land from error's chain. 

2 What though the spicy hreezes 
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle ; 

Though every prospect pleases, 

And only man is vile? 
In vain with lavish kindness 

The gifts of God are strown ; 
The heathen in his blindness 

Bows down to wood and stone. 

3 Shall we, wnose souls are lighted 
With wisdom from on high, 

Shall we to men benighted 

The lamp of life deny? 
Salvation ! salvation ) 

The joyful sound proclaim, 
Till earth's remotest nation 

Has learned Messiah's name.

4 Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, 

And you, ye waters, roll, 
Till, like a sea of glory, 

It spreads from pole to pole : 
Till o'er our ransomed nature 

The Lamb for sinners slain, 
Redeemer, King, Creator, 

In bliss returns to reign.

1 Roll on, thou mighty ocean ! 
And, as thy billows flow, 

Bear messengers of mercy 

To every land below. 
Arise, ye gales, and waft them 

Safe to the destined shore : 
That man may sit in darkness, 

And death's black shade, no more. 

2 O thou eternal Ruler, 
Who holdest in thine arm 

The tempests of the ocean, 
Protect them from all harm ! 

Thy presence, Lord, be with them, 
Wherever they may be ; 

Though far from us who love them, 
Still let them be with thee.

1 The morning light is breaking ; 
The darkness disappears ; 

The sons of earth are waking 

To penitential tears ; 
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean 

Brings tidings from afar, 
Of nations in commotion, 

Prepared for Zion's war. 

2 See heathen nations bending 
Before the God we love, 

And thousand hearts ascending 

In gratitude above ; 
While sinners, now confessing, 

The gospel call obey, 
And seek the Saviour's blessing, 

A nation in a day. 

3 Blest river of salvation, 
Pursue thine onward way ; 

Flow thou to every nation, 

Nor in thy richness stay : 
Stay not till all the lowly 

Triumphant reach their home : 
Stay not till all the holy 

Proclaim, "The Lord is come!"

And promise clothes the soil ; 
Wide fields, for harvest whitening, 

Invite the reaper's toil. 



2 Go where the waves are breaking 
On California's shore, 

Christ's precious gospel taking, 
More rich than golden ore ; 

On Alleghany's mountains, 
Through all the western vale, 

Beside Missouri's fountains, 
Rehearse the wondrous tale. 

3 The love of Christ unfolding, 
Speed on from east to west, 

Till all, his cross beholding, 

In him are fully blest. 
Great Author of salvation, 

Haste, haste the glorious day. 
When we, a ransomed nation, 

Thy scepter shall obey!

Flow joyfully along, 

When hill and valley, ringing 
With one triumphant song, 

Proclaim the contest ended, 
And Him who once was slain, 

Again to earth descended, 
in righteousness to reign? 

2 Then from the craggy mountains 
The sacred shout shall fly ; 

And shady vales and fountains 

Shall echo the reply. 
High tower and lowly dwelling 

Shall send the chorus round, 
All hallelujahs swelling 

In one eternal sound !

What its signs of promise are.

See that glory-beaming star ! 

Watchman, does its beauteous ray 
Aught of hope or joy foretell? 

Traveler, yes ; it brings the day, 
Promised day of Israel. 

2 Watchman, tell us of the night ; 
Higher yet that star ascends. 

Traveler, blessedness and light, 

Peace and truth, its course portends ! 
Watchman, will its beams alone 

Gild the spot that gavo them birth ? 
Traveler, ages are its own, 

See, it bursts o'er all the earth ! 
S Watchman, tell us of the night, 

For the morning seems to dawn. 
Traveler, darkness takes its flight ; 

Doubt and terror are withdrawn. 
Watchman, let thy wandering cease ; 

Hie thee to thy quiet home ! 
Traveler, lo ! the Prince of peace, 

Lo ! the Son of God is come !

93 O The word glorified. 

1 See how great a flame aspires, 
Kindled by a spark of grace I 



346 



Jesus' love the nations fires, 
Sets the kingdoms on a blaze. 

To bring fire on earth he came ; 
Kindled in some hearts it is : 

O that all might catch the flame, 
All partake the glorious bliss I 

2 When he flrst the work begun, 
Small and feeble was his day : 

Now the word doth swiftly run ; 

Now it wins its widening way : 
More and more it spreads and grows, 

Ever mighty to prevail ; 
Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows, 

Shakes the trembling gates of hell. 

3 Sons of God, your Saviour praise 1 
He the door hath opened wide ; 

He hath given the word of grace ; 

Jesus' word is glorified. 
Jesus, mighty to redeem, 

He alone the work hath wrought ; 
Worthy is the work of him, 

Him who spake a world from naught. 

4 Saw ye not the cloud arise, 
Little as a human hand ? 

Now it spreads along the skies, 
Hangs o'er all the thirsty land; 

Lo ! the promise of a shower 
Drops already from above ; 

But the Lord will shortly pour 
All the Spirit of his love.

Yonder heavens have passed away : 
Then the end ;— beneath his rod, 

Man's last enemy shall fall ; 
Hallelujah ! Christ in God, 

God in Christ, is all in all. 

JAMES MONTGOMERV. 

y«Z>y The banner of the cross. 

1 Go, ye messengers of God ; 
Like the beams of morning, fly ; 

Take the wonder-working rod ; 
Wave the banner-cross on high. 

2 Where the lofty minaret 
Gleams along the morning skies, 

Wave it till the crescent set, 
And the " Star of Jacob " rise. 

3 Go to many a tropic isle 
In the bosom of the deep, 

Where the skies forever smile, 
And the oppressed forever weep. 

4 o'er the pagan's night of care 
Pour the living light of heaven ; 

Chase away his dark despair, 
Bid him hope to be forgiven. 

5 Where the golden gates of day 
Open on the palmy East, 

High the bleeding cross display ; 
Spread the gospel's richest feast. 

6 Bear the tidings round the ball, 
Visit every soil and sea ; 

Preach the cross of Christ to all, 
Christ, whose love is full and free.

1 O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, 
Cheered by no celestial ray, 

Sun of righteousness, arising, 
Bring the bright, the glorious day ! 

Send the gospel 
To the earth's remotest bound. 

2 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,— 
Grant them, Lord, the glorious light : 

And, from eastern coast to western, 
May the morning chase the night ; 

And redemption, 
Freely purchased, win the day. 

3 Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel ! 
Win and conquer, never cease ; 

May thy lasting, wide dominion 
Multiply and still increase ; 

Sway thy scepter, 
Saviour, all the world around ! 

WILLIAM WILLIAMS. 

y4rl The Macedonian cry. 

1 Souls in heathen darkness lying, 
Where no light has broken through, 

Souls that Jesus bought by dying, 
Whom his soul in travail knew, — 

Thousand voices 
Call us, o'er the waters blue. 

2 Christians, hearken : none has taught 

them 
Of his love so deep and dear; 
Of the precious price that bought them ; 
Of the nail, the thorn, the spear ; 

Ye who know him, 
Guide them from their darkness drear. 



3 Haste, haste, and spread the tidings 
Wide to earth's remotest strand ; 

Let no brother's bitter chidings 
Rise against us when we stand 

In the judgment, 
From some far, forgotten land. 

4 Lo ! the hills for harvest whiten, 
All along each distant shore ; 

Seaward far the islands brighten; 
Light of nations, lead us o'er ! 

When we seek them, 
Let thy Spirit go before. 

MSS. CECIL F. ALBXANDXB. 



t)4r^ Fields white to the harvest. 

1 Who but thou, almighty Spirit, 
Can the heathen world reclaim ? 

Men may preach, but till thou favor, 
Heathens will be still the same: 

Mighty Spirit ! 
Witness to the Saviour's name. 

2 Thou hast promised by thy prophets 
Glorious light in latter days : 

Come, and bless bewildered nations, 
Change our prayers and tears to praise ; 

Promised Spirit ! 
Round the world diffuse thy rays. 

3 All our hopes, and prayers, and labors 
Must be vain without thine aid : 

But thou wilt not disappoint us, 
All is true that thou hast said : 

Faithful Spirit! 
O'er the world thine influence shed.

Borders on the shades of death,

Dissipate the clouds beneath.

Scattering all the night of nature, 
Pouring day upon our eyes.

Life and joy thy beams impart, 

Chasing all our fears, and cheering 
Every poor, benighted heart.

Come, and bring the gospel grace.

Give the knowledge of salvation, 
Give the pardon of our sins: 

By thine ail-atoning merit, 
Every burdened soul release; 

Every weary, wandering spirit, 
Guide into thy perfect peace.

Fruitful let thy sorrows be ; 

By thy pains and consolations, 
Draw the Gentiles unto thee : 

Of thy cross the wondrous story, 
Be it to the nations told ; 

Let them see thee in thy glory, 
And thy mercy manifold. 

2 Far and wide, though all unknowing, 
Pants for thee each mortal breast ; 

Human tears for thee are flowing, 
Human hearts in thee would rest ; 

Thirsting, as for dews of even, 
As the new-mown grass for rain, 

Thee they seek, as God of heaven, 
Thee, as Man for sinners slain. 

3 Saviour, lo ! the isles are waiting. 
Stretched the hand, and strained the 

sight, 
For thy Spirit, new creating 

Love's pure flame and wisdom's light; 
Give the word, and of the preacher 

Speed the foot, and touch the tongue, 
Till on earth by every creature 

Glory to the Lamb be sung.

y^rO Renewing the covenant. 

1 Come, let us use the grace divine, 
And all, with one accord, 

In a perpetual covenant join 
Ourselves to Christ the Lord ; 

2 Give up ourselves, through Jesus' power, 
His name to glorif y ; 

And promise, in this sacred hour, 
For God to live and die. 

3 The covenant we this moment make 
Be ever kept in mind ; 

We will no more our God forsake, 
Or cast his words behind. 

4 We never will throw off his fear 
Who hears our solemn vow ; 

And if thou art well pleased to hear, 
Come down, and meet us now. 

5 Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, 
Let all our hearts receive ; 

Present with the celestial host, 
The peaceful answer give. 

6 To each the covenant blood apply, 
Which takes our sins away; 

And register our names on high, 
And keep us to that day. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

t/4tO Praise and thanksgiving. 

1 Sing to the great Jehovah's praise ; 
All praise to him belongs; 

Who kindly lengthens out our days, 
Demands our choicest songs : 

2 His providence hath brought us through 
Another various year ; 



We all, with vows and anthems new, 
Before our God appear. 

3 Father, thy mercies past we own, 
Thy still continued care: 

To thee presenting, through thy Son, 
Whate'er we have or are. 

4 Our lips and lives shall gladly show 
The wonders of thy love, 

While on in Jesus' steps we go 
To seek thy face above. 

5 Our residue of days or hours 
Thine, wholly thine, shall be; 

And all our consecrated powers 
A sacrifice to thee : 

6 Till Jesus in the clouds appear 
To saints on earth forgiven, 

And bring the grand Sabbatic year, 
The jubilee of heaven. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

b/4fcY A midnight song. 

1 Join, all ye ransomed sons of grace, 
The holy joy prolong, 

And shout to the Redeemer's praise 
A solemn midnight song. 

2 Blessing, and thanks, and love, and 

might, 
Be to our Jesus given, 
Who turns our darkness into light, 
Who turns our hell to heaven. 

3 Thither our faithful souls he leads ; 
Thither he bids us rise, 

With crowns of joy upon our heads, 
To meet him in the skies.

1 Awake, ye saints, and raise your eyes, 
And raise your voices high : 

Awake, and praise that sovereign love, 
That shows salvation nigh. 

2 On all the wings of time it flies, 
Each moment brings it near ; 

Then welcome each declining day, 
Welcome each closing year. 

3 Not many years their rounds shall run, 
Nor many mornings rise, 

Ere all its glories stand revealed

Ye bring eternal day.

y4ry The owning year. 

1 The year is gone, beyond recall, 
With all its hopes and fears. 

With all its bright and gladdening smiles, 
With all its mourners' tears ; 

2 Thy thankful people praise thee, Lord, 
For countless gifts received ; 

And pray for grace to keep the faith 
Which saints of old believed. 

3 To thee we come, O gracious Lord, 
The newborn year to bless ; 

Defend our land from pestilence; 
Give peace and plenteousness ; 



351 



4 Forgive this nation's many sins; 
The growth of vice restrain ; 

And help us all with sin to strive, 
And crowns of life to gain. 

5 From evil deeds that stain the past 
We now desire to flee ; 

And pray that future years may all 
Be spent, good Lord, for thee. 

6 Father, let thy watchful eye 
Still look on us in love, 

That we may praise thee, year by year, 
With angel-hosts above.

How swift they glide away ! 

How short the term of life appears 
When past— but as a day !— 

2 A dark and cloudy day, 
Clouded by grief and sin ; 

A host of enemies without, 
Distressing fears within. 

3 Lord, through another year 
If thou permit our stay, 

With diligence may we pursue 
The true and living way.

yOl. A living sacrifice. 

1 Wisdom ascribe, and might, and praise, 
To God, who lengthens out our days ; 
Who spares us yet another year, 

And makes us see his goodness here : 

may we all the time redeem. 
And henceforth live and die to him ! 

2 How often, when his arm was bared, 
Hath he our sinful Israel spared ! 

" Let me alone ! " his mercy cried, 
And turned the vengeful bolt aside ; 
Indulged another kind reprieve, 
And strangely suffered us to live. 

3 Merciful God, how shall we raise 
Our hearts to pay thee all thy praise? 
Our hearts shall beat for thee alone ; 
Our lives shall make thy goodness known ; 
Our s<>uls and bodies shall be thine, 

A living sacrifice divine. 

CHARLKS WESLEY. 

95(i A solemn vigil. 

1 How many pass the guilty night 
In reveling and frantic mirth ! 

The creature is their sole delight, 

Their happiness the things of earth: 
For us suffice the season past ? 
We choose the better part at last. 

2 We will not close our wakeful eyes, 
We will not let our eyelids sleep, 



352 



But humbly lift them to the skies, 

And all a solemn vigil keep ; 
So many years on sin bestowed, 
Can we not watch one night for God ? 

3 We can, O Jesus, for thy sake, 
Devote our every hour to thee ; 

Speak but the word, our souls shall wake. 

And sing with cheerful melody: 
Thy praise shall our glad tongues employ, 
And every heart shall dan^e for joy. 

4 Blest object of our faith and love, 
We listen for thy welcome voice ; 

Our persons and our works approve, 

And bid us in thy strength rejoice ; 
Now let us hear the mighty cry, 
And shout to find the Bridegroom nigh. 

5 Shout in the midst of us, O King 
Of saints, and let our joys abound ; 

Let us rejoice, give thanks, and sing, 
And triumph in redemption found: 
We ask in faith for every soul ; 
O let our glorious joy be full ! 

6 may we all triumphant rise ; 
With joy upon our heads return; 

And, far above these nether skies, 
By thee on eagle wings upborne, 
Through all yon radiant circles move, 
And gain the highest heaven of love !

yOd The barren fig-tree. 

1 The Lord of earth and sky, 
The God of ages, praise, 

Who reigns enthroned on high, 
Ancient of endless days; 
Who lengthens out our trials here, 
And spares us yet another year. 

2 Barren and withered trees, 
We cumbered long the ground ; 

No fruit of holiness 
On our dead souls was found ; 
Yet doth he us in mercy spare, 
Another and another year. 

3 When justice bared the sword 
To cut the fig-tree down, 

The pity of the Lord 
Cried, "Let it still alone:" 
The Father mild inclines his ear, 
And spares us yet another year. 

4 Jesus, thy speaking blood 
From God obtained the grace, 

Who therefore hath bestowed 
On us a longer space ; 
Thou didst in our behalf appear, 
And, lo, we see another year I 

5 Then dig about the root, 
Break up our fallow ground, 

And let our gracious fruit 
To thy great praise abound ; 
O let us all thy praise declare, 
And fruit unto perfection bear. 

CHARLES WESLEY.

t/04r The Bridegroom cometh. 

1 Ye virgin souls, arise, 
With all the dead, awake I 

Unto salvation wise, 
Oil in your vessels take ; 
Upstarting at the midnight cry, 
" Behold the heavenly Bridegroom nigh ! ' 

2 He comes, he comes to call 
The nations to his bar, 

And take to glory all 
Who meet for glory are ; 
Made ready for your full reward, 
Go forth with joy to meet your Lord. 

3 Go, meet him in the sky, 
Your everlasting Friend ; 

Your Head to glorify, 
With all his saints ascend : 
Ye pure in heart, obtain the grace 
To see, without a veil, his face. 

4 The everlasting doors 

Shall soon the saints receive, 
With seraphs, thrones, and powers, 

In glorious joy to live ; 
Far from a world of grief and sin, 
With God eternally shut in. 

5 Then let us wait to hear 

The trumpet's welcome sound; 
To see our Lord appear, 

May we be watching found ; 
And when thou dost the heavens bow, 
Be found— as, Lord, thou flnd'st us now.

And our talents improve,

And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.

Rushes on to our view, and eternity 's here.

may say, 
" I have fought my way through ; 
I have finished the work thou didst give

" Well and faithfully done ! 
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my 
throne i "

yOO Retrospect of the year. 

1 While, with ceaseless course, the sun 
Hasted through the former year, 

Many souls their race have run, 
Never more to meet us here : 

Fixed in an eternal state, 
They have done with all below ; 

We a little longer wait, 
But how little — none can know. 

2 As the winged arrow flies 
Speedily the mark to find ; 

As the lightning from the skies 
Darts, and leaves no trace behind; 



Swiftly thus our fleeting days 
Bear us down life's rapid stream ; 

Upward, Lord, our spirits raise ; 
All below is but a dream. 

3 Thanks for mercies past receive ; 

Pardon of our sins renew ; 
Teach us henceforth how to live 

With eternity in view : 
Bless thy word to young and old ; 

Fill us with a Saviour's love ; 
And when life's short tale is told, 

May we dwell with him above. 

JOHN NEWTON.

1 A few more years shall roll, 
A few more seasons come ; 

And we shall be with those that rest, 
Asleep within the tomb. 

2 A few more storms shall beat 
On this wild rocky shore ; 

And we shall be where tempests cease, 
And surges swell no more. 

3 A few more struggles here, 
A few more partings o'er, 

A few more toils, a few more tears, 
And we shall weep no more.

O wash me in thy precious blood, 
And take my sins away !

And wealth and honor gone.

Thou everlasting Friend I 



While we, as on life's utmost verge,

PHILIP DODDBIDGJJ, 

c) O i3 Plea for sparing mercy. 

1 Lord, let me know mine end, 
My days, how brief their date ; 

That I may timely comprehend 
How frail my best estate. 

2 My life is but a span ; 

Mine age is naught with thee ; 
And, in his highest honor, man 
Is dust and vanity. 

3 At thy rebuke the bloom 
Of earthly beauty flies ; 

And grief shall like a moth consume 
All that delights our eyes. 

4 Have pity on my fears ; 
Hearken to my request ; 

Turn not in silence from my tears, 
But give the mourner rest. 

5 O spare me yet, I pray ; 
Awhile my strength restore, 

Ere I am summoned hence away, 
And seen on earth no more.

How transient every earthly bliss I 

How slender all the fondest ties 
That bind us to a world like this I 

2 The evening cloud, the morning dew, 
The withering grass, the fading flower, 

Of earthly hopes are emblems true, 
The glory of a passing hour. 

3 But though earth's fairest blossoms die, 
And all beneath the skies is vain, 

There is a brighter world on high, 
Beyond the reach of care and pain. 

4 Then let the hope of joys to come 
Dispel our cares, and chase our fears : 

If God be ours, we 're traveling home, 
Though passing through a vale of tears.

1 Shrinking from the cold hand of death, 
I soon shall gather up my feet ; 

Shall soon resign this fleeting breath, 
And die, my fathers' God to meet. 

2 Numbered among thy people. I 
Expect with joy thy face to see : 

Because thou didst for sinners die, 
Jesus, in death remember me ! 

3 that without a lingering groan 
I may the welcome word receive ; 

My body with my charge lay down, 
And cease at once to work and live ! 

4 Walk with me through the dreadful 

shade, 
And, certified that thou art mine, 



356 



My spirit, calm and undismayed, 
I shall into thy hands resign. 

5 No anxious doubt, no guilty gloom, 
Shall damp whom Jesus' presence cheers : 

My Light, my Life, my God is come, 
And glory in his face appears.

Teach me to know how frail I am, 
And spend the remnant to thy praise. 

2 My days are shorter than a span ; 
A little point my life appears ; 

How frail, at best, is dying man ! 
How vain are all his hopes and fears ! 

3 Vain his ambition, noise, and show ; 
Vain are the cares which rack his mind: 

He heaps up treasures mixed with woe, 
And dies, and leaves them all behind. 

4 be a nobler portion mine ! 

My God, I bow before thy throne ; 
Earth's fleeting treasures I resign, 
And fix my hope on thee alone. 

ANNE STEELE. 

9 6 O The way of all the earth. 

1 Pass a few swiftly fleeting years, 
And all that now in bodies live 

Shall quit, like me, the vale of tears, 
Their righteous sentence to receive. 

2 But all, before they hence remove, 
May mansions for themselves prepare 

In that eternal house above ; 
And, O my God, shall I be there?

Q64r Man frail— God eternal. 

1 O God, our help in ages past, 
Our hope for years to come, 

Our shelter from the stormy blast, 
And our eternal home ! 

2 Under the shadow of thy throne 
Still may we dwell secure ; 

Sufficient is thine arm alone, 
And our defense is sure. 

3 Before the hills in order stood, 
Or earth received her frame, 

From everlasting thou art God, 
To endless years the same. 

4 A thousand ages, in thy sight, 
Are like an evening gone ; 

Short as the watch that ends the night, 
Before the rising sun. 

5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, 
With all their cares and fears, 

Are carried downward by the flood, 
And lost in following years. 

6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, 
Bears all its sons away ; 

They fly, forgotten, as a dream 
Dies at the opening day. 

7 God, our help in ages past, 
Our hope for years to come ; 

Be thou our guide while life shall last, 
And our perpetual home ! 

ISAAC WATTS.

965 Frailty of life. 

1 Thee we adore, eternal Name, 
And humbly own to thee 

How feeble is our mortal frame, 
What dying worms are we. 

2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still, 
As days and months increase ; 

And every beating pulse we tell 
Leaves but the number less. 

3 The year rolls round, and steals away 
The breath that first it gave : 

Whate'er we do, where'er we be, 
We 're traveling to the grave. 

4 Dangers stand thick through all the 

ground 
To push us to the tomb ; 
And fierce diseases wait around, 
To hurry mortals home. 

5 Infinite joy, or endless woe, 
Attends on every breath ; 

And yet how unconcerned we go, 
Upon the brink of death ! 

6 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense 
To walk this dangerous road ; 

And if our souls are hurried hence, 
May they be found with God ! 

ISAAC WATTS. 

Doxology. 

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, 

The God whom we adore, 
Be glory, as it was, is now, 

And shall be evermore.

1 Thou God of glorious majesty, 
To thee, against myself, to thee, 

A worm of earth, I cry ; 
A half-awakened child of man, 
An heir of endless bliss or pain, 

A sinner born to die. 

2 Lo ! on a narrow neck of land, 
'Twixt two unbounded seas, I stand, 

Secure, insensible : 
A point of time, a moment's space, 
Removes me to that heavenly place, 

Or shuts me up in hell. 

3 O God, mine inmost soul convert, 
And deeply on my thoughtful heart 

Eternal things impress : 
Give me to feel their solemn weight, 
And tremble on the brink of fate, 

And wake to righteousness. 

VENETIA. C. P. M. 



4 Before me place in dread array, 
The pomp of that tremendous day, 

When thou with clouds shalt come 
To judge the nations at thy bar ; 
And tell me, Lord, shall I be there 

To meet a joyful doom ? 

5 Be this my one great business here, 
With serious industry and fear 

Eternal bliss to insure ; 
Thine utmost council to fulfill, 
And suffer all thy righteous will, 

And to the end endure. 

6 Then, Saviour, then my soul receive, 
Transported from this vale, to live 

And reign with thee above, 
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, 
And hope in full, supreme delight, 

And everlasting love.

1 If death my friend and me divide, 
Thou dost not, Lord, my sorrow chide, 

Or frown my tears to see ; 
Restrained from passionate excess, 
Thou bidd'st me mourn in calm distress 

For them that rest in thee. 

2 I feel a strong immortal hope, 
Which bears my mournful spirit up, 

Beneath its mountain load ; 
Redeemed from death, and grief, and pain. 
I soon shall find my friend again 

Within the arms of God. 

3 Pass a few fleeting moments more, 
And death the blessing shall restore 

Which death has snatched away ; 
For me thou wilt the summons send, 
And give me back my parted friend, 

In that eternal day. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

yDO The momentous question. 

1 And am I only born to die? 
And must I suddenly comply 

With nature's stern decree? 
What after death for me remains? 
Celestial joys, or hellish pains, 

To all eternity ! 

2 How then ought I on earth to live. 
While God prolongs the kind reprieve, 

And props the house of clay ? 
My sole concern, my single care, 
To watch, and tremble, and prepare 

Against that fatal day. 

3 No room for mirth or trifling here, 
For worldly hope, or worldly fear, 

If life so soon is gone ; 
If now the Judge is at the door, 
And all mankind must stand before 

The inexorable throne ! 

4 No matter which my thoughts employ, 
A moment's misery or joy; 

But ! when both shall end, 



359 



Where shall I find my destined place ? 
Shall I my everlasting days 
With fiends, or angels spend ? 

5 Nothing is worth a thought beneath, 
But how I may escape the death 

That never, never dies ; 
How make mine own election sure ; 
And, when I fail on earth, secure 

A mansion in the skies. 

6 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray ; 
Be thou my guide, be thou my way 

To glorious happiness. 
Ah ! write the pardon on my heart, 
And whensoe'er I hence depart, 

Let me depart in peace. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

959 The dying Christian to his soul. 

1 Vital spark of heavenly flame, 
Quit, O quit this mortal frame ; 
Trembling, hoping, lingering, flying, 
O the pain, the bliss of dying ! 
Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife, 
And let me languish into life. 

2 Hark! they whisper: angels say, 
" Sister spirit, come away f" 
What is this absorbs me quite — 
Steals my senses, shuts my sight, 
Drowns my spirit, draws my breath ?— 
Tell me, my soul, can this be death ? 

3 The world recedes— it disappears ; 
Heaven opens on my eyes ; my ears 

With sounds seraphic ring ! 
Lend, lend your wings ! I mount ! I fly I 
" Grave, where is thy victory? 

Death, where is thy sting?" 

ALEXANDER POPE. 

Doxology. 

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, 

The God whom heaven's triumphant host 

And saints on earth adore ;

And now it is, and so shall last, 

When time shall be no more !

9 / O IFe »wo!«rn. «of as Mose without hope. 

1 Why do we mourn for dying friends, 
Or shake at death's alarms ? 

'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, 
To call them to his arms. 

2 Are we not tending upward too, 
As fast as time can move '? 

Nor should we wish the hours more slow. 
To keep us from our love. 

3 Why should we tremble to convey 
Their bodies to the tomb? 

There once the flesh of Jesus lay, 
And left a long perfume. 

4 The graves of all his saints he blest, 
And softened every bed : 

Where should the dying members rest, 
But with their dying Head? 

5 Thence he arose, ascending high, 
And showed our feet the way : 

Up to the Lord our flesh shall fly, 
At the great rising-day. 

6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, 
And bid our kindred rise : 

Awake, ye nations under ground ; 
Ye saints, ascend the skies ! 

ISAAC WATTS. 

iy / 1 To die is gain. 

1 Why should our tears in sorrow flow 

When God recalls bis own, 
And bids them leave a world of woe, 

For an hnmortal crown? 



2 Is not e'en death a gain to those 
Whose life to God was given? 

Gladly to earth their eyes they close, 
To open them in heaven. 

3 Their toils are past, their work is done, 
And they are fully blest ; 

They fought the fight, the victory won, 
And entered into rest. 

4 Then let our sorrows cease to flow ; 
God has recalled his own ; 

But let our hearts, in every woe, 
Still say, "Thy will be done." 

WILLIAM H. BATHURST. 

tJ/fiu A voice from the tombs. 

1 Hark ! from the tombs a doleful sound ; 
My ears, attend the cry : 

" Ye living men, come view the ground 
Where you must shortly lie. 

2 " Princes, this clay must be your bed, 
In spite of all your towers ; 

The tall, the wise, the reverend head, 
Must lie as low as ours." 

3 Great God ! is this our certain doom ? 
And are we still secure? 

Still walking downward to the tomb, 
And yet prepared no more ? 

4 Grant us the power of quickening gra^e 
To tit our souls to fly ; 

Then, when we drop this dying flesh, 
We '11 rise above the sky.

9/3 Through death to life. 

1 Through sorrow's night, and clanger's 

path, 
Amid the deepening gloom, 
We, followers of our suffering Lord, 
Are marching to the tomb. 

2 There, when the turmoil is no more, 
And all our powers decay, 

Our cold remains in solitude 
Shall sleep the years away. 

3 Our labors done, securely laid 
In this our last retreat, 

Unheeded, o'er our silent dust, 
The storms of earth shall beat. 

4 Yet not thus buried, or extinct, 
The vital spark shall lie ; 

For o'er life's wreck that spark shall rise 
To seek its kindred sky. 

5 These ashes, too, this little dust, 
Our Father's care shall keep, 

Till the last angel rise and break 
The long and dreary sleep. 



H. KIB.KE WHITE. 



y/4: Peaceful departure. 

1 Behold the western evening light 1 
It melts in deepening gloom : 

So calmly Christians sink away, 
Descending to the tomb. 

2 The winds breathe low, the withering leaf 
Scarce whispers from the tree : 

So gently flows the parting breath, 
When good men cease to be. 



3 How beautiful on all the hills 
The crimson light is shed ! 

'Tis like the peace the Christian gives 
To mourners round his bed. 

4 How mildly on the wandering cloud 
The sunset beam is cast ! 

'Tis like the memory left behind 
When loved ones breathe their last. 

5 And now above the dews of night 
The rising star appears : 

So faith springs in the heart of those 
Whose eyes are bathed in tears. 

.6 But soon the morning's happier light 
Its glory shall restore ; 

And eyelids that are sealed in death 
Shall wake to close no more. 

WILLIAM B. O. PEABODY. 

9/0 Thou art with me.— Ps. 23 : 4. 

1 That solemn hour will come for me, 
When, though their charms I own, 

All human ties resigned must be ; 
For I must die alone. 

2 All earthly pleasures will be o'er, 
All earthly labors done, 

And I shall tread the eternal shore, 
And I must die alone. 

3 But 0, I will not view with dread 
That shadowy vale unknown : 

I see a light within it shed ; 
I shall not die alone ! 

4 One will be with me there, whose voice 
I long have loved and known ; 

To die is now my wish, my choice : 
I shall not die alone !

y/O Christ's presence makes dying easy. 

1 Why should we start, and fear to die? 

What timorous worms we mortals are ! 
Death is the gate to endless joy, 

And yet we dread to enter there. 

i The pains, the groans, the dying strife, 
Fright our approaching souls away ; 

And we shrink back again to life, 
Fond of our prison and our clay. 

3 would my Lord his servant meet, 
My soul would stretch her wings in haste, 

Fly fearless through death's iron gate, 
Nor feel the terrors as she 



4 Jesus can make a dying bed 
Feel soft as downy pillows are, 

While on his breast I lean my head, 
And breathe my life out sweetly there. 



ISAAC WATTS. 



y 4 4 Sown in dishonor— raised in glory. 

1 The morning flowers display their sweets, 
And gay their silken leaves unfold, 

As careless of the noontide heats, 
As fearless of the evening cold. 

2 Nipped by the wind's unkindly blast, 
Parched by the sun's directer ray, 

The momentary glories waste, 
The short-lived beauties die away. 

3 So blooms the human face divine, 
When youth its pride of beauty shows : 

Fairer than spring the colors shine, 
And sweeter than the virgin rose. 



4 Or worn by slowly rolling years, 
Or broke by sickness in a day, 

The fading glory disappears, 
The short-lived beauties die away. 

5 Yet these, new rising from the tomb, 
With luster brighter far shall shine, 

Revive with ever-during bloom, 
Safe from diseases and decline. 

6 Let sickness blast, let death devour, 
If heaven must recompense our pains : 

Perish the grass, and fade the flower, 
If firm the word of God remains. 

SAMUEL WESLEY, JB. 



The memory of the just is blessed. 
Prov. 10 : 7. 



978 



1 Earth's transitory things decay; 
Its pomps, its pleasures, pass away; 
But the sweet memory of the good 
Survives in the vicissitude. 

2 As, 'mid the ever-rolling sea, 
The eternal isles established be, 
'Gainst which the surges of the main 
Fret, dash, and break themselves in vain ; 

3 As, in the heavens, the urns divine 
Of golden light forever shine ; 

Though clouds may darken, storms may 

rage, 
They still shine on from age to age ; 

4 So, through the ocean-tide of years, 
The memory of the just appears; 

So, through the tempest and the gloom, 
The good man's virtues light the tomb.

With holy confidence to sing,

Whose waking is supremely blest ! 
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour 
That manifests the Saviour's power.

May such a blissful refuge be ! 
Securely shall my ashes lie, 
Waiting the summons from on high.

From which none ever wakes to weep.

ybU The Christian's parting hour. 

1 How sweet the hour of closing day, 
When all is peaceful and serene, 

And when the sun, with cloudless ray, 
Sheds mellow luster o'er the scene" ! 

2 Such is the Christian's parting hour ; 
So peacefully he sinks to rest, 

When faith, endued from heaven with 

power, 
Sustains and cheers his languid breast. 



3 Mark but that radiance of his eye, 
That smile upon his wasted cheek ; 

They tell us of his glory nigh, 
In language that no tongue can speak. 

4 A beam from heaven is sent to cheer 
The pilgrim on his gloomy road ; 

And angels are attending near, 
To bear him to their bright abode. 

5 Who would not wish to die like those 
Whom God's own Spirit deigns to bless? 

To sink into that soft repose, 
Then wake to perfect happiness? 

WILLIAM H. BATHURST. 



981 The vision of faith. 

1 Shall man, God of light and life, 
Forever molder in the grave ? 

Canst thou forget thy glorious work, 
Thy promise, and thy power to save ? 

2 In those dark, silent realms of night, 
Shall peace and hope no more arise ? 

No future morning light the tomb, 
Nor day-star gild the darksome skies ? 

3 Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears : 
When Christ, our Lord, from darkness 

sprang, 
Death, the last foe, was captive led, 
And heaven with praise and wonder rang. 

4 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors 
Unfold, to make his children way ; 

i They shall be clothed with endless life.

*" the Lord. 

1 How blest the righteous when he dies ! 
When sinks a weary soul to rest, 

How mildly beam the closing eyes. 
How gently heaves the expiring breast ! 

2 So fades a summer cloud away ; 

So sinks the gale when storms are o'er ; 
So gently shuts the eye of day ; 
So dies a wave along the shore. 

3 A holy quiet reigns around, 

A calm which lif e nor death destroys ; 
And naught disturbs that peace profound 
Which his unfettered soul enjoys. 

4 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears, 
Where lights and shades alternate dwell 

How bright the unchanging morn appears ! 
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell !

While heaven and earth combine to say, 
"How blest the righteous when he dies!

Cleansed from all sin, and pure in heart, 
The bliss unmixed, the glorious prize, 
They find with Christ in paradise.

They cast their crowns before the throne, 
And fill the echoing courts above 
With praises of redeeming love.

Take this new treasure to thy trust, 

And give these sacred relics room

Invade thy bounds ; no mortal woes 

Can reach the peaceful sleeper here, 
While angels watch the soft repose.

Passed through the grave, and blest the

Rest here, blest saint, till from his throne

Restore thy trust; a glorious form 
Shall then ascend to meet the Lord.

The family above." 

SAMUEL STEXNETT. 

yOO The sharpness of death overcome. 

1 Calm on the bosom of thy God, 
Fair spirit, rest thee now ! 

E'en while with us thy footsteps trod, 
His seal was on thy brow. 

2 Dust, to its narrow house beneath ! 
Soul, to its place on high ! 

They that have seen thy look in death, 
No more may fear to die. 

3 Lone are the paths, and sad the bowers, 
Whence thy meek smile is gone ; 

But 0, a brighter home than ours, 
In heaven is now thine own. 

MRS. FELICIA D. HEMANS. 

b)oy Death vanquished. 

1 When t the last trumpet's awful voice 
This rending earth shall shake ; 

When opening graves shall yield their charge, 
And dust to life awake ; 

2 Those bodies that corrupted fell 
Shall incorrupt arise, 

And mortal forms shall spring to life 
Immortal in the skies. 

3 Behold, what heavenly prophets sung 
Is now at last fulfilled ; 

And Death yields up his ancient reign, 
And, vanquished, quits the field. 

1 Let Faith exalt her joyful voice, 
And now in triumph sing : 

"0 Grave, where is thy victory? 
And where, O Death, thy sting?"

1 O for the death of those 
Who slumber in the Lord ! 

O be like theirs my last repose, 
Like theirs my last reward ! 

2 Their bodies in the ground, 
In silent hope may lie, 

Till the last trumpet's joyful sound 
Shall call them to the sky. 

3 Their ransomed spirits soar, 
On wings of faith and love, 

To meet the Saviour they adore, 
And reign with him above.

Thy glorious warfare 's past ; 

The battle 's fought, the race is won, 
And thou art crowned at last ; 

2 Of all thy heart's desire 
Triumphantly possessed ; 

Lodged by the ministerial choir 
In thy Redeemer's breast. 

3 In condescending love, 

Thy ceaseless prayer he heard ; 
And bade thee suddenly remove 
To thy complete reward.

Thou dost thy Lord proclaim, 

And still to God salvation cry, 
Salvation to the Lamb I 

5 O happy, happy soul ! 
In ecstasies of praise, 

Long as eternal ages roll, 
Thou seest thy Saviour's face. 

6 Redeemed from earth and pain, 
Ah 1 when shall we ascend, 

And all in Jesus' presence reign 
With our translated friend ?

Blest be thy memory, and blest 
Thy bright example be ! 

2 Now, toil and conflict o'er, 
Go, take with saints thy place ; 

But go, as each has gone before, 
A sinner saved by grace. 

3 Saviour, into thy hands 
Our pastor we resign, 

And now we wait thine own commands : 
We were not his but thine. 

4 Thou art thy Church's Head; 
And when the members die, 

Thou raisest others in their stead ; 
To thee we lift our eye. 

5 On thee our hopes depend, 
We gather round our Rock ; 

Send whom thou wilt, but condescend 
Thyself to feed the flock.

99o It is not death to die. 

1 It is not death to die, — 
To leave this weary road, 

And, 'mid the brotherhood on high, 
To be at home with God. 

2 It is not death to close 

The eye long dimmed by tears, 
And wake, in glorious repose 
To spend eternal years. 

3 It is not death to bear 

The wrench that sets us free 
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air 
Of boundless liberty. 

4 It is not death to fling 
Aside this sinful dust, 

And rise, on strong exulting wing, 
To live among the just. 

5 Jesus, thou Prince of life, 
Thy chosen cannot die ! 

Like thee, they conquer in the strife, 
To reign with thee on high. 

ABRAHAM H. C. MALAX. TR. BY G. W. BETHUNE. 

yb/4r Resting in hope. 

1 Rect for the toiling hand, 
Rest for the anxious brow, 

Rest for the weary, way-sore feet, 
Rest from all labor now. 

2 Rest for the fevered brain, 
Rest for the throbbing eye ; 

Through these parched lips of thine no 
more 
Shall pass the moan or sigh. 

3 Soon shall the trump of God 
Give out the welcome sound, 



That shakes thy silent chamber-walls, 
And breaks the turf-sealed ground. 

4 Ye dwellers in the dust. 
Awake, come forth and sing ! 

Sharp has your frost of winter been, 
But bright shall be your spring. 

5 'Twas sown in weakness here, 
'Twill then be raised in power : 

That which was sown an earthly seed, 
Shall rise a heavenly flower. 

HORATIUS BONAK. 



9 9 O Because 1 live, ye shall live also. 

1 And must this body die, 

This well-wrought frame decay? 
And must these active limbs of mine 
Lie moldering in the clay? 

2 God, my Redeemer, lives, 
And ever from the skies 

Looks down, and watches all my dust, 
Till he shall bid it rise. 

3 Arrayed in glorious grace 
Shall these vile bodies shine, 

And every shape, and every face, 
Be heavenly and divine. 

4 These lively hopes we owe, 
Lord, to thy dying love : 

O may we bless thy grace below, 
And sing thy grace above ! 

5 Saviour, accept the praise 
Of these our humble songs, 

Till tunes of nobler sound we raise 
With our immortal tongues.

996 Solemn thoughts of the future. 

1 AND am I bora to die? 
To lay this body down ? 

And must my trembling spirit fly 

Into a world unknown— 
A land of deepest shade, 

Unpierced by human thought, 
The dreary regions of the dead, 

Where all things are forgot? 

2 Soon as from earth I go, 
What will become of me? 

Eternal happiness or woe 

Must then my portion be : 
Waked by the trumpet's sound, 

I from my grave shall rise. 
And see the Judge, with glory crowned, 

And see the flaming skies ! 

3 Who can resolve the doubt 
That tears my anxious breast? 

Shall I be with the damned cast out, 
Or numbered with the blest? 

I must from God be driven, 
Or with my Saviour dwell : 

Must come at his command to heaven,. 
Or else— depart to hell ! 

4 thou who wouldst not have 
One wretched sinner die ; 

Who diedst thyself my soul to save 
From endless misery ; 



Show me the way to shun 

Thy dreadful wrath severe, 
That when thou comest on thy throne 

I may with joy appear. 

CHAKI.ES wbslev. 

99 / For victory in death. 

1 When on the brink of death 
My trembling soul shall stand, 

Waiting to pass that awful flood, 
Great God, at thy command,— 

2 When every scene of life 
Stands ready to depart, 

And the last sigh that shakes the frame 
Shall rend this bursting heart,— 

3 Thou Source of joy supreme, 
Whose arm alone can save, 

Dispel the darkness that surrounds 
The entrance to the grave. 

4 Lay thy supporting hand 
Beneath my sinking head : 

And with a ray of love divine 
Illume my dying bed. 

5 Leaning on Jesus' breast, 
May I resign my breath ; 

And in his kind embraces lose 
The bitterness of death.

1 I would not live alway; I ask not to stay 
Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the 

way: 
The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here 
Are enough for life's woes, full enough for 

its cheer. 

2 I would not live alway ; no, welcome the 

tomb! 
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its 

gloom ; 
There sweet be my rest till he bid me arise, 
To hail him in triumph descending the skies. 

3 Who, wbo would live alway, away from 

his God ; 
Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, 
Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the 

blight plains, 
And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? 

4 Where the saints of all ages in harmony 

meet, 
Their Saviour and brethren transported to 

greet ; 
While the anthems of rapture unceasingly 

roll, 
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of 

the soul. 



MUHI.ENBKUG. 



yyy Thou art gone to the grave. 

1 Thott art gone to the grave ; but we will 

not deplore thee, 
Though sorrows and darkness encompass 

the tomb ; 
Thy Saviour has passed through its portal 

before thee, 
And the lamp of his love is thy guide 

through the gloom. 

2 Thou art gone to the grave ; we no longer 

behold thee. 
Nor tread the rough path of the world by 

thy side : 
But the wide arms of mercy are spread to 

enfold thee, 
And sinners may die, for the Sinless hath 

died. 

3 Thou art gone to the grave ; and, its 

mansion forsaking, 
Perchance thy weak spirit in fear lingered 

long; 
But the mild rays of paradise beamed on 

thy waking, 
And the sound which thou heardst was 

the seraphim's song. 

4 Thou art gone to the grave ; but we will 

not deplore thee ; 

Whose God was thy ransom, thy guardian, 
and guide : 
He gave thee, he took thee, and he will re- 
store thee; 

And death has no sting, for the Saviour 
has died.

1000 Clothed with immortality. 

1 " Spirit, leave thy house of clay ; 
Lingering dust, resign thy breath ! 

Spirit, cast thy chains away ; 

Dust, be thou dissolved in death ! " 
Thus the mighty Saviour speaks, 

While the faithful Christian dies ; 
Thus the bonds of life he breaks. 

And the ransomed captive flies. 

2 tk Prisoner, long detained below, 
Prisoner, now with freedom blest, 

Welcome from a world of woe ; 

Welcome to a land of rest ! " 
Thus the choir of angels sing, 

As they bear the soul on high, 
While with hallelujahs ring 

Ad the regions of the sky. 

3 Grave, the guardian of our dust, 
Grave, the treasury of the skies, 

Every atom of thy trust 
Rests in hope again to rise: 

Hark! the judgment-trumpet calls, 
"Soul, rebuild thy house of clay; 

Immortality thy walls. 
And eternity thy -day ! " 

JAMES MONT60MKBY, ALT. 

lUU J_ Dying in the Lord. 
1 Hark! a voice divides the sky,— 
Happy axe the faithful dead ! 



In the Lord who sweetly die, 
They from all their toils are freed ; 

Them the Spirit hath declared 
Blest, unutterably blest; 

Jesus is their great reward, 
Jesus is their endless rest. 

2 Followed by their works they go, 
Where their Head is gone before ; 

Reconciled by grace below, 
Grace hath opened mercy's door ; 

Justified through faith alone, 
Here they knew their sins forgiven ; 

Here they laid their burden down, 
Hallowed and made meet for heaveu. 

3 Who can now lament the lot 
Of a saint in Christ deceased? 

Let the world, who know us not, 
Call us hopeless and unblest: 

When from flesh the spirit freed 
Hastens homeward to return, 

Mortals cry, " A man is dead ! " 
Angels sing, il A child is born ! " 

4 Born into the world above, 
They our happy brother greet; 

Bear him to the throne of love, 
Place him at the Saviour's feet: 

Jesus smiles, and says, " Well done I 
Good and faithful servant thou ! 

Enter, and receive thy crown ; 
Reign with me triumphant now."

1 Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding 
O'er the spoils that death has wou, 

We would, at this solemn meeting, 
Calmly say, "Thy will be done." 

2 Though cast down, we 're not forsaken ; 
Though afflicted, not alone : 

Thou didst give, and thou hast taken ; 
Blessed Lord, "Thy will be done." 

3 Though to-day we 're filled with mourning, 
Mercy still is on the throne ; 

With thy smiles of love returning, 
We can sing, "Thy will be done." 

4 By thy hands the boon was given ; 
Thou hast taken but thine own : 

Lord of earth, and God of heaven, 
Evermore, " Thy will be done."

lUUo Conflict ended— crown waiting. 

1 Happy soul, thy days are ended, 
All thy mourning days below ; 

Go, by angel guards attended, 

To the sight of Jesus go ! 
Waiting to receive thy spirit, 

Lo ! the Saviour stands above ; 
Shows the purchase of his merit, 

Reaches out the crown of love. 

2 Struggle through thy latest passion, 
To thy great Redeemer's breast, 

To his uttermost salvation, 

To his everlasting rest. 
For the joy he sets before thee, 

Bear a momentary pain ; 
Die, to live a life of glory ; 

Suffer, with thy Lord to reign.

1 Lowly and solemn be 
Thy children's cry to thee, 

Father divine! 
A hymn of suppliant breath, 
Owning that life and death 

Alike are thine. 

2 O Father, in that hour, 
When earth all helping power 

Shall disavow : 
When spear, and shield, and crown. 
In faintness are cast down; 

Sustain us, thou ! 

3 By Him who bowed to take 
The death-cup for our sake, 

The thorn, the rod ; 
From whom the last dismay 
Was not to pass away ; 

Aid us, O God ! 

4 Tremblers beside the grave, 
We call on thee to save, 

Father divine I

Keep us in life and death,

1006 Death of a child. 

1 Wherefore should I make my moan, 
Now the darling child is dead? 

He to early rest is gone, 
He to paradise is fled : 

1 shall go to him, but he 
Never shall return to me. 

2 God forbids his longer stav; 
God recalls the precious loan ; 

God hath taken him away, 

From my bosom to his own : 
Surely what he wills is best; 
Happy in his will I rest. 

3 Faith cries out, " It is the Lord, 
Let him do as seems him good ! " 

Be thy holy name adored ; 

Take the gift awhile bestowed: 
Take the child no longer mine ; 
Thine he is, forever thine.

1 Tender Shepherd, thou hast stilled 
Now thy little lamb's brief weeping : 

Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild 
In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping! 
And no sigh of anguish sore 
Heaves that little bosom more. 

2 In this world of care and pain, 
Lord, thou wouldst no longer leave it ; 

To the sunny heavenly plain 

Thou dost now with joy receive it ; 
Clothed in robes of spotless white, 
Now it dwells with thee in light. 

3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we 
Where it lives may soon be living, 

And the lovely pastures see 

That its heavenly food are giving ;

Though thou take what most we love.

Gentle, and meek, and mild, 
With blessings on thy head. 

Fresh roses in thy hand, 
Buds on thy pillow laid, 

Haste from this blighting land, 
Where flowers so quickly fade. 

2 Before thy heart could learn 
In waywardness to stray; 

Before thy feet could turn 
The dark and downward way ; 

Ere sin could wound thy breast. 
Or sorrow wake the tear ; 

Rise to thy home of rest, 
In yon celestial sphere ! 

3 Because thy smile was fair, 
Thy lip and eye so bright, 

Because thy cradle-care 

Was such a fond delight ; 
Shall love, with weak embrace. 

Thy heavenward flight detain? 
No, angel ! seek thy place 

Amid yon cherub train.

JLOOy Friends separated. 

1 Friend after friend departs : 
Who hath not lost a friend ? 

There is no union here of hearts 

That finds not here an end : 
Were this frail world our only rest, 
Living or dying, none were blest. 

2 Beyond the flight of time, 
Beyond this vale of death, 

There surely is some blessed clime 

Where life is not a breath, 
Nor life's affection transient Are, 
Whose sparks fly upward to expire. 

3 There is a world above, 
Where parting is unknown ; 

A whole eternity of love, 

Formed for the good alone : 
And faith beholds the dying here 
Translated to that happier sphere. 

4 Thus star by star declines, 
Till all are passed away, 

As morning high and higher shines, 

To pure and perfect day ; 
Nor sink those stars in empty night ; 
They hide themselves in heaven's own 
light. 

JAMES MONTGOMERY.

1 (J 1 (_) Present with the Lord. 

1 The precious seed of weeping 
To-day we sow once more, 

The form of one now sleeping, 
Whose pilgrimage is o'er. 

Ah ! death but safely lands him 
Where we too would attain ; 

Our Father's voice demands him, 
And death to him is gain. 

2 He has what we are wanting, 
He sees what we believe ; 

The sins on earth so haunting 
Have there no power to grieve ; 

Safe in his Saviour's keeping, 
Who sent him calm release,— 

'Tis only we are weeping,— 
He dwells in perfect peace. 

3 The crown of life he weareth, 
He bears the shining palm, 

The "Holy, holy," shareth, 
And joins the angels' psalm ; 

But we, poor pilgrims, wander 
Still through this land of woe, 

Till we shall meet him yonder, 
And all his joy shall know.

1011 Safe in the harbor. 

1 Weep not for a brother deceased, 
Our loss is his infinite gain ; 

A soul out of prison released, 
And freed from its bodily chain ; 

With songs let us follow his flight, 
And mount with his spirit above, 

Escaped to the mansions of light, 
And lodged in the Eden of lore. 

2 Our brother the haven hath gained, 
Outfiying the tempest and wind ; 

His rest he hath sooner obtained. 
And left his companions behind, 

Still tossed on a sea of distress. 
Hard toiling to make the blest shore, 

Where all is assurance and peace, 
And sorrow and sin are no more. 

3 There all the ship's company meet. 
Who sailed with the Saviour beneath : 

With shouting each other they greet. 
And triumph o'er sorrow and death: 

The voyage of life 's at an end ; 
The mortal affliction is past ; 

The age that iu heaven they spend. 
Forever and ever shall last. 

CHARLES WESLEY.

lOl^i The grave disarmed. 

1 Man dieth and wasteth away, 
And where is he?— Hark ! from the skies, 

1 hear a voice answer and say, 

" The spirit of man never dies ! 
His body, which came from the earth, 

Must mingle again with the sod ; 
His soul, which in heaven had birth, 

Returns to the bosom of God." 

2 No terror has death, or the grave, 
To those who believe in the'Lord, 

Who know the Redeemer can save. 
And lean on the faith of his word : 

While ashes to ashes, and dust 
We give unto dust, in our gloom, 

The light of salvation we trust, 
Which hangs like a lamp in the tomb, 

3 Lord God Almighty ! to thee 
We turn, as our solace above ; 

The waters may fail from the sea ; 

But never thy fountains of love: 
O teach us thy will to obey, 

And sing with one heart and accord, 
" He gave, and he taketh away, 

And praised be the name of the Lord."

10 J.O The second advent. 

1 Lo ! He comes, with clouds descending, 
Once for favored sinners slain ; 

Thousand thousand saints attending, 
Swell the triumph of his train: 

Hallelujah ! 
God appears on earth to reign. 

2 Every eye shall now behold him 
Robed in dreadful majesty ; 

Those who set at naught and sold him. 
Pierced and nailed him to the tree, 

Deeplv wailing. 
Shall the true Messiah see. 

3 All the tokens of his passion 
Still his dazzling body bears, 

Cause of endless exultation 
To his ransomed worshipers ; 

With what rapture 
Gaze we on those glorious scars ! 

4 Yea, Amen! let all adore thee, 
Hiffh on thy eternal throne ; 

Saviour, take the power and glory; 
Claim the kingdom for thine own : 

Jah! Jehovah! 
Everlasting God, come down ! 

CHARLES WESLEY.

1014: Judgment terrors— judgment 
raptures. 

1 Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus, 
Partners in his patience here: 

Christ, to all believers precious, 
Lord of lords, shall soon appear : 

Mark the tokens 
Of his heavenly kingdom near. 

2 Sun and moon are both confounded, 
Darkened into endless night, 

When, with angel-hosts surrounded, 
In his Father's glory bright, 

Beams the Saviour, 
Shines the everlasting light. 

3 See the stars from heaven falling; 
Hark, on earth the doleful cry, 

Men on rocks and mountains calling. 
While the frowning Judge draws nigh, 

"Hide us, hide us, 
Rocks and mountains, from his eye! " 

4 With what different exclamation 
Shall the saints his banner see ! 

By the tokens of his passion, 
By the marks received for me, 

All discern him; 
All with shouts cry out, '"Tis he!" 

5 Lo! 'tis he! our hearts' desire, 
Come for his espoused below ; 

Come to join us with his choir, 
Come to make our joys o'erfiow; 

Palms of victory, 
Crowns of glory, to bestow.

breaking. 

1 O'er tie distant mountains breaking, 
Comes the reddening dawn of day ; 

Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking, 
Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray : 

'Tis thy Saviour, 
On his bright returning way. 

2 O thou long-expected, weary 
Waits my anxious soul for thee ; 

Life is dark, and earth is dreary 
Where thy light I do not see : 

O my Saviour, 
When wilt thou return to me? 

3 Long, too long, in sin and sadness, 
Far away from thee I pine ; 

When, when, shall I the gladness 
Of thy Spirit feel in mine? 

O my Saviour, 
When shall I be wholly thine? 

4 Nearer is my soul's salvation, 
Spent the night, the day at hand ; 

Keep me in my lowly station, 
Watching for thee, till I stand, 

O my Saviour, 
In thy bright and promised land. 



377 



5 With my lamp well trimmed and 
burning, 
Swift to hear, and slow to roam, 
Watching for thy glad returning 
To restore me to my home ; 

Come, my Saviour, 
O my Saviour, quickly come ! 



J_(_)J_0 Christ is coming. 

1 Christ is coming! let creation 
Bill her groans and travail cease ; 

Let the glorious proclamation 
Hope restore, and faith increase ; 

Christ is coming ! 
Come, thou blessed Prince of peace ! 

•2 Earth can now but tell the story 
Of thy bitter cross and pain ; 

She shall yet behold thy glory 
When thou comest back to reign ; 

Christ is coming ! 
Let each heart repeat the strain. 

3 Long thy exiles have been pining, 
Far from rest, and home, and thee; 

But, in heavenly vesture shining, 
Soon they shall thy glory see ; 

Christ is coming ! 
Haste the joyous jubilee. 

4 With that u blessed hope" before us, 
Let no harp remain unstrung ; 

Let the mighty advent chorus 
Onward roll from tongue to tongue ; 

Christ is coming I 
Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come !

1017 The dreadful day. 

1 The day of wrath, that dreadful day, 
When heaven and earth shall pass away! 
What power shall be the sinner's stay ? 
How shall he meet that dreadful day? 

2 When, shriveling like a parched scroll, 
The flaming heavens together roll ; 
And louder yet, and yet more dread, 
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead ! 

3 O, on that day, that wrathful day, 
When man to judgment wakes from clay, 
Be thou, Christ, the sinner's stay, 
Though heaven and earth shall pass away ! 

8IE WALTER SCOTT. 



1018 The Judge severe. 

1 He comes ! He comes ! the Judge severe ! 
The seventh trumpet speaks him near ; 
His lightnings flash, his thunders roll ; 
How welcome to the faithful soul ! 

2 From heaven angelic voices sound ; 
See the almighty Jesus crowned, 
Girt with omnipotence and grace ! 
And glory decks the Saviour's face. 

3 Descending on his great white throne, 
He claims the kingdoms for his own ; 
The kingdoms all obey his word, 

And hail him their triumphant Lord. 

4 Shout, all thfi people of the sky, 
And all the saints of the Most High ; 
Our Lord, wh^ now his right obtains. 
Forever and forever reigns. 



lO iy Safety amid general dissolution. 

1 The great archangel's trumo shall sound, 
While twice ten thousand thunders roar, 

Tear up the graves, and cleave the ground, 
And make the greedy sea restore. 

2 The greedy sea shall yield her dead ; 
The earth no more her slain conceal; 

Sinners shall lift their guilty head, 
And shrink to see a yawning hell. 

3 But we, who now our Lord confess, 
And faithful to the end endure. 

Shall stand in Jesus' righteousness; 
Stand, as the Rock of ages, sure. 

4 We, while the stars from heaven shall fall, 
And mountains are on mountains hurled, 

Shall stand unmoved amidst them all, 
And smile to see a burning world. 

5 The earth and all the works therein 
Dissolve, by raging flames destroyed, 

While we survey the awful scene, 
And mount above the fiery void. 

6 By faith we now transcend the skies, 
And on that ruined world look down : 

By love above all height we rise, 
And share the everlasting throne. 

CHARLES WESLE1T. 

Doxology. 
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ; 
Praise him, all creatures here below ; 
Praise him above, ye heavenly host ; 
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost !

lU^O TTie awful sentence. 

1 That awful day will surely come, 
The appointed hour makes haste, 

When I must stand before my Judge, 
And pass the solemn test. 

2 Jesus, thou Source of all my joys, 
Thou Ruler of my heart, 

How could I bear to hear thy voice 
Pronounce the word, "Depart ! " 

3 The thunder of that awful word 
Would so torment my ear, 

'Twould tear my soul asunder, Lord, 
With most tormenting fear. 

4 What! to be banished from my Lord, 
And yet forbid to die ! 

To linger in eternal pain, 
And death forever fly ! 

5 wretched state of deep despair, 
To see my God remove, 

And fix my doleful station where 
I must not taste his love ! 

ISAAC -WATTS. 

lOSl The final account. 

1 And must I be to judgment brought, 
And answer in that day 

Foi every vain and idle thought, 
And every word I say? 

2 Yes, every secret of my heart 
Shall shortly be made known, 

And I receive my just desert 
For all that I have done. 

3 How careful, then, ought I to live, 
With what religious fear I 

25 



Who such a strict account must give 
For my behavior here. 

4 Thou awful Judge of quick and dead, 
The watchful power bestow ; 

So shall I to my ways take heed, — 
To all I speak or do. 

5 If now thou standest at the door, 

let me feel thee near ; 

And make my peace with God, before 

1 at thy bar appear. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

[L. M. Tune, Grace Church. Page 378.] 
10SS Be pitiful, O God. 

1 Son of God, in glory crowned, 

The Judge ordained of quick and dead! 
Son of man, so pitying found 
For all the tears thy people shed! 

2 Be with us in this darkened place,— 
This weary, restless, dangerous night ; 

And teach, teach us, by thy grace, 
To struggle onward into light ! , 

3 And since, in God's recording book, 
Our sins are written, every one, — 

The crime, the wrath, the wandering look, 
The good we knew, and left undone ; 

4 Lord, ere the last dread trump be heard, 
And ere before thy face we stand, 

Look thou on each accusing word, 
And blot it with thy bleeding hand. 

5 And by the love that brought thee here, 
And by the cross, and by the grave, 

Give perfect love for conscious fear, 
And in the day of judgment save.

1023 Day of wrath. 

1 Pay of wrath, O dreadful day ! 
When this world shall pass away, 
And the heavens together roll, 
Shriveling like a parched scroll, 
Long foretold hy saint and sage, 
David's harp, and sibyl's page. 

2 Day of terror, day of doom, 
When the Judge at last shall come 1 
Through the deep and silent gloom, 
Shrouding every human tomb, 
Shall the archangel's trumpet tone 
Summon all before the throne. 

3 Then the writing shall be read, 
Which shall judge the quick and dead : 
Then the Lord of all our race 

Shall appoint to each his place ; 
Every wrong shall be set right, 
Every secret brought to light. 

4 O just Judge, to whom belongs 
Vengeance for all earthly wrongs, 
Grant forgiveness, Lord, at last, 
Ere the dread account be past. 

Lo, my sighs, my guilt, my shame ! 
Spare me for thine own great name. 



5 Thou, who bad'st the sinner cease 
From her tears and go in peace, — 
Thou, who to the dying thief 
Spakest pardon and relief, — 
Thou, O Lord, to me hast given, 
E'en to me, the hope of heaven. 

THOMAS OF CELAISO. TK. BV A. P. STANLEY. 

[S. M. Tune, Tioga. Page 368.] 
1024: The inexorable Judge. 

1 Thou Judge of quick and dead, 
Before whose bar severe, 

With holy joy or guilty dread, 

We all shall soon appear ; 
Our cautioned souls prepare 

For that tremendous day, 
And fill us now with watchful care, 

And stir us up to pray : 

2 To pray, and wait the hour, 
That awful hour unknown. 

When, robed in majesty and power, 
Thou shalt from heaven come down, 

The immortal Son of man, 
To judee the human race, 

With all thy Father's dazzling train, 
With all thy glorious grace. 

3 O may we all be found 
Obedient to thy word, 

Attentive to the trumpet's sound, 

And looking for our Lord. 
O may we thus insure 

A lot among the blest ; 
And watch a moment to secure 

An everlasting rest.

Sweet and joyful it will be 

When they who, unseen, have loved him, 
Jesus face to face shall see !

Who for Christ, have toiled and died, 

Driven by the world's rough pressure 
In those mansions to abide f

In that heavenly home to dwell.

1 When thou, my righteous Judge, 

shalt come 
To take thy ransomed people home, 

Shall I among them stand? 
Shall such a worthless worm as I, 
Who sometimes am afraid to die, 

Be found at thy right hand ? 

2 I love to meet thy people now. 
Before thy feet with them to bow, 

Though vilest of them all ; 
But, can I bear the piercing thought, 
What if my name should be left out, 

When thou for them shalt call ? 

3 O Lord, prevent it by thy grace ; 
Be : jou my only hiding-place, 

In this the accepted day ; 
Thy pardoning voice let me hear, 
To still my unbelieving fear, 

Nor let me fall, I pray. 

4 Among thy saints let me be found, 
Whene'er the archangel's trump shall 

sound, 
To see thy smiling face ; 
Then loudest of the throng I '11 sing, 
While heaven's resounding mansions 
ring 
With shouts of sovereign grace.

The Judge of man I see appear, 

On clouds of glory seated : 
The trumpet sounds ; the graves restore 
The dead which they contained before ; 

Prepare, my soul, to meet him !

At the last trumpet's sounding,

Caught up to meet him in the skies, 

With joy their Lord surrounding : 
No gloomy fears their souls dismay ; 
His presence sheds eternal day 

On those prepared to meet him. 

But sinners, filled with guilty fears, 

Behold his wrath prevailing ; 
Foi they shall rise and find their tears 

And sighs are unavailing: 
The day of grace is past and gone. 
Trembling they stand before the throne, 

All unprepared to meet him. 
4 Great God ! what do I see and hear ! 

The end of things created ! 
The Judge of man I see appear, 

On clouds of glory seated : 
Beneath his cross I view the day 
When heaven and earth shall pass away, 

And thus prepare to meet him.

1 Day of judgment, day of wonders ! 
Hark ! the trumpet's awful sound, 

Louder than a thousand thunders, 
Shakes the vast creation round : 

How the summons 
Will the sinner's heart confound ! 

2 See the Judge, our nature wearing, 
Clothed in majesty divine ! 

You who long for his appearing, 
Then shall say, " This God is mine : 

Glorious Saviour, 
Own me in that day for thine !

At his call the dead awaken, 
Rise to life from earth and sea ; 
All the powers of nature, shaken 
By his voice, prepare to flee : 

Careless sinner, 
What will then become of thee ? 

4 But to those who have confessed, 
Loved and served the Lord below, 

He will say, " Come near, ye blessed ; 
See the kingdom I bestow : 

You forever 
Shall ray love and glory know."

FIRST PART. 

1030 The full assurance of hope. 

1 How happy every child of grace, 
Who knows his sins forgiven ! 

"This earth," he cries, "is not my place, 

I seek my place in heaven,— 
A country far from mortal sight ; 

Yet O, bv faith I see 
The land of rest, the saints' delight, 

The heaven prepared for me." 

2 O what a blessed hope is ours ! 
While here on earth we stay, 

We more than taste the heavenly powers, 

And antedate that day: 
We feel the resurrection near, 

Our life in Christ concealed, 
And with his glorious presence here 

Our earthen vessels filled. 

3 O would he more of heaven bestow, 
And let the vessels break, 

And let our ransomed spirits go 

To grasp the God we seek ; 
In rapturous awe on him to gaze, 

Who bought the sight for me ; 
And shout and wonder at his grace 

Through all eternity ! 

CHAELES WESLEY. 



SECOND PART. 

1031 Endless bliss in prospect. 

1 A stranger in the world below, 

I calmly sojourn here ; 
Nor can its happiness or woe 

Provoke my hope or fear : 



384 



Its evils in a moment end, 

Its joys as soon are past ; 
But O, the bliss to which I tend 

Eternally shall last ! 

2 To that Jerusalem above, 

With singing I repair ; 
While in the flesh, my hope and love, 

My heart and soul, are there. 
There my exalted Saviour stands, 

My merciful High Priest; 
And still extends his wounded hands, 

To take me to his breast. 

CHARLES WESLEY. 
THIRD PART. 

lUo^ The prospect joyous. 

1 And let this feeble body fail, 
And let it faint or die ; 

My soul shall quit the mournful vale, 
And soar to worlds on high ; 

Shall join the disembodied saints, 
And find its long-sought rest, 

That only bliss for w r hich it pants, 
In the Redeemer's breast. 

2 In hope of that immortal crown 
I now the cross sustain, 

And gladly wander up and down, 
And smile at toil and pain : 

I suffer on my threescore years, 
Till my Deliverer come, 

And wipe away his servant's tears, 
And take his exile home. 

8 what hath Jesus bought for me I 
Before my ravished eyes

Rivers of life divine I see, 

And trees of paradise : 
I see a world of spirits bright, 

Who taste the pleasures there ; 
They all are robed in spotless white, 

And conquering palms they bear. 

4 O what are all my sufferings here, 

If, Lord, thou count me meet 
With that enraptured host to appear, 

And worship at thy feet ! 
Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, 

Take life or friends away, 
But let me find them all again 

In that eternal day. 

CHA.HLES WESLEY. 



FOURTH PART. 

lUoo Communion with saints in heaven. 

1 Come, let us join our friends above 
That have obtained the prize, 

And on the eagle wings of love 

To joys celestial rise. 
Let all the saints terrestrial sing, 

With those to glory gone ; 
For all the servants of our King, 

In earth and heaven, are one. 

2 One family we dwell in him, 
One church above, beneath, 

Though now divided by the stream, 
The narrow stream, of death. 

One army of the living God, 
To his command we bow ; 

Part of his host have crossed the flood, 
And part are crossing now. 



3 Ten thousand to their endless home 
This solemn moment fly ; 

And we are to the margin come, 

And we expect to die. 
His militant embodied host, 

With wishful looks we stand, 
And long to see that happy coast, 

And reach the- heavenly land. 

4 Our old companions in distress 
We haste again to see, 

And eager long for our release, 

And full felicity. 
E'en now by faith we join our hands 

With those that went before ; 
And greet the blood-besprinkled bands 

On the eternal shore. 

5 Our spirits, too, shall quickly join, 
Like theirs with glory crowned, 

And shout to see our Captain's sign, 

To hear his trumpet sound. 
O that we now might grasp our Guide ! 

that the word were given ! 
Come, Lord of hosts, the waves divide, 

And land us all in heaven ! 

CHARLES WESLEY. 

Doxology. 

The God of mercy be adored, 

Who calls our souls from death, 
Who saves by his redeeming word, 

And new-creating breath ; 
To praise the Father, and the Son, 

And Spirit all-divine,— 
The One in Three, and Three in One,— 

Let saints and angels join.

1 O^^t- Farewell to earth— heaven 
- L ^ ,0 ^ t welcomed. 

1 Ye golden lamps of heaven, farewell, 
With all your feeble light ; 

Farewell, thou ever-changing moon, 
Pale empress of the night. 

2 And thou, refulgent orb of day, 
In brighter flames arrayed. 

My soul, that springs beyond thy sphere, 
No more demands thine aid. 

3 Ye stars are but the shining dust, 
Of my divine abode, 

The pavement of those heavenly courts 
Where I shall reign with God. 

4 The Father of eternal light 
Shall there his beams display, 

Nor shall one moment's darkness m'x 
With that unvaried day. 

5 No more the drops of piercing grief 
Shall swell into mine eyes, 

Nor the meridian sun decline 
Amid those brighter skies. 

6 There all the millions of his saints 
Shall in one song unite, 

And each the bliss of all shall view 
With infinite delight. 

PHILIP DODDRIDGE. 

lOoO The New Jerusalem. 

1 Lo, what a glorious sight appears 
To our believing eyes ! 

The earth and seas are passed away, 
And the old rolling skies. 

2 From the third heaven, where God re- 

That holy, happy place, 
The New Jerusalem comes down, 
Adorned with shining grace. 



3 Attending angels shout for joy, 
And the bright armies sing, 

" Mortals, behold the sacred seat 
Of your descending King ! 

4 "The God of glory down to men 
Removes his blest abode ; 

Men, the dear objects of his grace, 
And he the loving God. 

5 " His own soft hand shall wipe the tears 
From every weeping eye ; 

And pains, and groans, and griefs, and 
fears. 
And death itself, shall die." 

6 How long, dear Saviour, O how long 
Shall this bright hour delay ? 

Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time, 
And bring the welcome day ! 

ISAAC WATT3. 

lUoU In the desert— heaven before us. 

1 Forth to the land of promise bound. 
Our desert path we tread ; 

God's fiery pillar for our guide, 
His Captain at our head. 

2 E'en now we faintly trace the hills, 
And catch their distant blue ; 

And the bright city's gleaming spires 
Rise dimly on our view. 

3 Soon, when the desert shall be crossed, 
The flood of death passed o'er, 

Our pilgrim hosts shall safely land 
On Canaan's peaceful shore. 

4 There love shall have its perfect work. 
And prayer be lost in praise ; 

And all the servants of our God 
Their endless anthems raise.

1Uo7 7%e heavenly Canaan. 

1 There is a land of pure delight, 
Where saints immortal reign ; 

Infinite day excludes the night, 
And pleasures hanish pain. 

2 There everlasting spring abides. 
And never-withering flowers : 

Death, like a narrow sea, divides 
This heavenly land from ours. 

3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood 
Stand dressed in living green ; 

So to the Jews old Canaan stood, 
While Jordan rolled between. 

4 Could we but climb where Moses 

stood, 
And view the landscape o'er, 
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold 

flood, 
Should fright us from the shore. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

lOoO The promised land. 

1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, 
And cast a wishful eye 

To Canaan's fair and happy land, 
Where my possessions lie. 

2 O the transporting, rapturous scene, 
That rises to my sight ! 

Sweet fields arrayed in living green, 
And rivers of delight. 

3 O'er all those wide-extended plains 
Shines one eternal day ; 

There God the Son forever reigns, 
And scatters night away. 



387 



4 No chilling winds, or poisonous breath, 
Can reach that healthful shore ; 

Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, 
Are felt and feared no more. 

5 When shall I reach that happy place, 
And be forever blest? 

When shall I see my Father's face, 
And in his bosom rest ? 

6 Filled with delight, ray raptured soul 
Would here no longer stay : 

Though Jordan's waves around me roll, 
Fearless I 'd launch away. 

SAMUEL STENNKTT. 

[8, 6. Tune, Tappan. Page 56.] 
1039 The land of rest. 

1 There is an hour of peaceful rest, 
To mourning wanderers given ; 

There is a joy for souls distressed, 

A balm for every wounded breast, 

'Tis found above, in heaven. 

2 There is a home for weary souls 
By sin and sorrow driven, 

When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals, 
Where storms arise and ocean rolls, 
And all is drear ; 'tis heaven. 

3 There faith lifts up the tearless eye, 
To brighter prospects given ; 

And views the tempest passing by, 
The evening shadows quickly fly, 
And all serene in heaven. 

4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom. 
And joys supreme are given ; 

There rays divine disperse the gloom : 
Beyond the confines of the tomb 
Appears the dawn of heaven.

1 4: O The redeemed in heaven. 

1 Lo ! round the throne, a glorious band, 
The saints in countless myriads stand ; 
Of every tongue redeemed to God, 
Arrayed in garments washed in blood. 

2 Through tribulation great they came ; 
They bore the cross, despised the shame ; 
But now from all their labors rest, 

In God's eternal glory blest. 

3 They see the Saviour face to face ; 
They sing the triumph of his grace ; 
And day and night, with ceaseless praise, 
To him' their loud hosannas raise. 

4 O may we tread the sacred road 
That holv saints and martyrs trod ; 
Wage to'the end the glorious strife, 
And win, like them, a crown of life ! 

MARY L. DUNCAN. 

"I O-d-1 They shall behold the land that is 
- 1 - W " TtJL very far off.— Isa. 33 : 17. 

1 There is a land mine eye hath seen 

In visions of enraptured thought, 
So bright, that all which spreads between 

Is with its radiant glories fraught. 
•I A land upon whose blissful shore 

There rests no shadow, falls no stain ; 
There those who meet shall part no more, 

And those long parted meet again. 

3 Its skies are not like earthly skies, 
With varying hues of shade and light ; 

It hath no need of suns to rise 
To dissipate the gloom of night. 

4 There sweeps no desolating wind 
Across that calm, serene abode ; 

The wanderer there a home may And 
Within the paradise of God. 

GUSDOX BOE1NS. 



J_i_/4r^ Perfection in heaven. 

1 What sinners value I resign ; 
Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine ; 

1 shall behold thy blissful face, 

And stand complete in righteousness. 

2 This life 's a dream, an empty show ; 
But the bright world to which I go 
Hath joys substantial and sincere ; 
When shall I wake, and find me there? 

3 O glorious hour ! O blest abode ! 
I shall be near, and like my God ; 
And flesh and sin no more control 
The sacred pleasures of the soul. 

4 My flesh shall slumber in the ground, 
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; 
Then burst the chains, with sweet surprise, 
And in my Saviour's image rise. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

JL04rO The heavenly Zion. 

1 Arm of the Lord, awake, awake! 
Thine own immortal strength put on ! 

With terror clothed, hell's kingdom shake, 
And cast thy foes with fury down. 

2 By death and hell pursued in vain, 

To thee the ransomed seed shall come ; 
Shouting, their heavenly Zion gain, 
And pass through death triumphant home. 

3 The pain of life shall then be o'er, 
The anguish and distracting care ; 

There sighing grief shall weep no more, 
And sin shall never enter there. 

4 Where pure, essential joy is found, 

The Lord's redeemed their heads shall 
raise, 
With everlasting gladness crowned, 
And filled with love, and lost in praise*

104:4: The heavenly city. 

1 Jerusalem, my happy home ! 
Name ever dear to me ! 

When shall my labors have an end, 
In joy and peace in thee? 

2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built 

walls 
And pearly gates behold? 
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, 
And streets of shining gold ? 

3 O when, thou city of my God, 
Shall I thy courts ascend, 

Where congregations ne'er break up, 
And Sabbath has no end ? 

4 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, 
Nor sin nor sorrow know : 

Blest seats ! through rude and stormy scenes 
I onward press to you. 

5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there 
Around my Saviour stand ; 

And soon my friends in Christ below 
Will join the glorious band. 

6 Jerusalem, my happy home ! 
My soul still pants for thee ; 

Then shall my labors have an end, 
When I thy joys shall see. 

UNKNOWN. 

104:0 The saints in glory. 

1 Give me the wings of faith, to rise 
Within the veil, and see 

The saints above, how great their joys, 
How bright their glories be. 

2 Once they were mourners here below, 
And poured out cries and tears ; 

They wrestled hard, as we do now, 
With sins, and doubts, and fears. 



389 



3 I ask them whence their victory came ; 
They, with united breath, 

Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, 
Their triumph to his death. 

4 They marked the footsteps that he trod ; 
His zeal inspired their breast ; 

And, following their incarnate God, 
Possess the promised rest. 

5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise 
For his own pattern given ; 

While the long cloud of witnesses 
Show the same path to heaven. 

ISAAC WATTS. 

104rt) We shall see Him as he is. 

1 The heavenly treasure now we have 
In a vile house of clay ; 

But Christ will to the utmost save, 
And keep us to that day. 

2 Our souls are in his mightv hand, 
And he shall keep them still ; 

And you and I shall surely stand 
With him on Zion's hill. 

3 Him eye to eye we there shall see, 
Our face like his shall shine ; 

what a glorious company, 
When saints and angels join ! 

4 O what a joyful meeting there ! 
In robes of white arrayed, 

Palms in our hands we all shall bear, 
And crowns upon our head. 

5 Then let us lawfully contend, 
And fight our passage through ; 

Bear in our faithful minds the end. 
And keep the prize in view

1 Christian, dost thou see them, 
On the holy ground, 

How the powers of darkness 

Rage thy steps around ? 
Christian, up and smite them, 

Counting gain but loss; 
In the strength that coineth 

By the holy cross! 

2 Christian, dost thou feel them, 
How they work within, 

Striving, tempting, luring, 

Goading into sin? 
Christian, never tremble ; 

Never be downcast ; 
Gird thee for the battle, 

Watch, and pray, and fast ! 

3 Christian, dost thou hear them, 
How they speak thee fair? 

"Always fast and vigil? 

Always watch and prayer ? " 
Christian, answer boldly : 

"While I breathe I pray! " 
Peace shall follow battle, 

Night shall end in day. 

4 "Well I know thy trouble, 

my servant true ; 
Thou art very weary, 

1 was weary too ; 

But that toil shall make thee 

Some day all mine own, 
And the end of sorrow 

Shall be near my throne."

J_04r0 The pilgrim's home. 

1 While through this world we roam, 
From infancy to age, 

Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home, 
His rest at every stage. 

2 Thither his soul ascends, 
Eternal joys to share ; 

There his adoring spirit bends, 
While here he kneels in prayer. 

3 His freed affections rise, 
To fix on things above, 

Where all his hope of glory lies, 
Where all is perfect love. 

4 There we our treasure place ; 
There let our hearts be found ; 

That still, where sin abounded, grace 
May more and more abound. 

5 Henceforth our converse be 
With Christ before the throne ; 

Ere long we eye to eye shall see, 
And know as we are known.

No night in heaven. 

1 There is no night in heaven ; 
In that blest world above 

Work never can bring weariness, 
For work itself is love. 

2 There is no grief in heaven ; 
For life is one glad day, 

And tears are of those former things 
Which aU have passed away. 

3 There is no sin in heaven ; 
Behold that blessed throng, 

All holy in their spotless robes, 
All holy in their song. 

4 There is no death in heaven ; 
For they who gain that shore 

Have won their immortality, 
And they can die no more.

1 "Forever with the Lord ! " 
Amen, so let it be! 

Life from the dead is in that word, 
'Tis immortality. 

2 Here in the body pent, 
Absent from him I roam, 

Yet nightly pitch my moving tent 
A day's march nearer home. 

3 " Forever with the Lord ! " 
Father, if 'tis thy will, 

The promise of that faithful word, 
E'en here to me fulfill. 

4 So when my latest breath 
Shall rend the veil in twain, 

By death I shall escape from death, 
And life eternal gain. 

5 Knowing as I am known, 
How shall I love that word, 

And oft repeat before the throne, 
tv Forever with the Lord ! " 

JAMES MONTGOMERY. 

1051 The goodly land. 

1 Far from these scenes of night, 
Unbounded glories rise, 

And realms of joy and pure delight, 
Unknown to mortal eyes. 

2 Fair land ! could mortal eyes 
But half its charms explore, 

How would our spirits long to rise, 
And dwell on earth no more ! 

3 No cloud those regions know, 
Realms ever bright and fair : 



For sin, the source of mortal woe, 
Can never enter there. 

4 O may the prospect fire 
Our hearts with ardent love, 

Till wings of faith, and strong desire, 
Bear every thought above. 

5 Prepared, by grace divine, 
For thy bright courts on high, 

Lord, bid our spirits rise and join 
The chorus of the sky.

Where all the sounds of weeping cease, 
And storms no more have sway. 

2 Fear hath no dwelling here ; 
But pure repose and love 

Breathe through the bright, celestial air 
The spirit of the dove. 

3 Come to the bright and blest, 
Gathered from every land ; 

For here thy soul shall And its rest 
Amid the shining band. 

4 In this divine abode 

Change leaves no saddening trace ; 
Come, trusting spirit, to thy God, 
Thy holy resting-place.

" Forsake the world, no longer roam ; 
O wanderer, come away!"

1 One sweetly solemn thought 
Comes to me o'er and o'er,— 

1 am nearer home to-day 
Than I ever have been before. 

2 Nearer my Father's house, 
Where the many mansions be ; 

Nearer the great, white throne ; 
Nearer the crystal sea ; 

3 Nearer the bound of life, 
Where we lay our burdens down ; 

Nearer leaving the cross ; 
Nearer gaining the crown. 



4 But lying darkly between, 
Winding down through the night, 

Is l lie deep and unknown stream, 
That leads at last to the light. 

5 Father, perfect my trust ! 
Strengthen the might of my faith; 

Let me feel as I would when I stand 
On the rock of the shore of death : 

6 Feel as I would when my feet 
Are slipping over the brink ; 

For it may be, I'm nearer home- 
Nearer now than I think !

For weary souls designed, 

Where not a care shall stir the breast, 
Or sorrow entrance find ?

Where kindred minds shall meet, 

And live and love, nor ever roam 
From that serene retreat?

Where naught that blooms shall die ; 

Where each new scene fresh pleasure 
yields, 
And healthful breezes sigh ? 

4 Are there celestial streams, 
Where living waters glide, 

With murmurs sweet as angel-dreams, 
And flowery banks beside ? 

5 Forever blessed they, 
Whose joyful feet shall stand, 

While endless ages waste away, 
Amid that glorious land !

While toilsome years are given ; 

Then let me, gracious God, ascend 
To sweet repose in heaven.

JLUOt) The house not made with hands. 

1 We know, by faith we know, 
If this vile house of clay, 

This tabernacle, sink below, 
In ruinous decay,— 

2 We have a house above, 

Not made with mortal hands ; 



393 



And firm as our Redeemer's love 
That heavenly fabric stands. 

3 It stands securely high, 
Indissolubly sure : 

Our glorious mansion in the sky 
Shall evermore endure. 

4 Full of immortal hope, 
We urge the restless strife, 

And hasten to be swallowed up 
Of everlasting life. 

5 Lord, let us put on thee 
In perfect holiness, 

And rise prepared thy face to see, 
Thy bright, unclouded face. 

6 Thy grace with glory crown, 
Who hast the earnest given, 

And then triumphantly come down, 
And take our souls to heaven !

1 O what a migiity change 
Shall Jesus' sufferers know, 

While o'er the happy plains they range, 

Incapable of woe I 
No ill-requited love 

Shall there our spirits wound : 
No base ingratitude above, 

No sin in heaven is found. 

2 No slightest touch of pain, 
Nor sorrow's least alloy, 

Can violate our rest, or stain 

Our purity of joy : 
In that eternal day 

No clouds or tempests rise ; 
There gushing tears are wiped away 

Forever from our eyes.

lOoS O sn-eet and blessed country. 

1 The world is very evil. 
The times are waxins; late : 

Be sober and keep vigil, 

The Judge is at the gate ; 
The Judge that comes in mercy, 

The Judge that comes with might, 
To terminate the evil, 

To diadem the right. 

2 Arise, arise, good Christian, 
Let right to wrong succeed ; 

Let penitential sorrow 
To heavenly gladness lead, 

To light that hath no evening, 
That knows no moon nor sun, 

The light so new and golden, 
The light that is but one. 

3 home of fadeless splendor, 
Of flowers that fear no thorn, 

Where they shall dwell as children 
Who here as exiles mourn ! 

'Midst power that knows no limit, 
Where wisdom has no bound, 

The beatific vision 
Shall glad the saints around. 



4 happy, holy portion, 
Refection for the blest, 

True vision of true beauty, 
Sweet cure of all distressed ! 

Strive, man, to win that glory ; 
Toil, man, to gain that light ; 

Sen-1 hope before to grasp it, 
Till hope be lost in sight. 

5 sweet and blessed country, 
The home of God's elect ! 

sweet and blessed country 
That eager hearts expect ! 

Jesus, in mercy bring us 
To that dear land of rest ; 

Who art, with God the Father, 
And Spirit, ever blest. 

BERNARD OF CLUNY. TK. BY J. M. NKALE 

Doxology. 

To thee be praise forever, 

Thou glorious King of kings ! 
Thy wondrous love and favor 

Each ransomed spirit sings : 
We '11 celebrate thy glory, 

With all thy saints above, 
And shout the joyful story 

Of thy redeeming love.

lOOy Brief sorroio— eternal rest. 

1 Brief life is here our portion ; 
Brief sorrow, short-lived care ; 

The life that knows no ending, 
The tearless life, is there. 

O happy retribution ! 
Short toil, eternal rest ; 

For mortals and for sinners 
A mansion with the blest ! 

2 And now we fight the battle, 
But then shall wear the crown 

Of full and everlasting 
And passionless renown : 

But He whom now we trust in 
Shall then be seen and known ; 

And they that know and see him 
Shall have him for their own. 



3 The morning shall awaken, 
The shadows shall decay, 

And each true-hearted servant 
Shall shine as doth the day. 

There God, our King and Portion, 
In fullness of his grace, 

Shall we behold forever, 
And worship face to face. 

4 sweet and blessed country 
The home of God's elect ! 

sweet and blessed country 
That eager hearts expect ! 

Jesus, in mercy bring us 
To that dear land of rest ; 

Who art, with God the Father, 
And Spirit, ever blest.

1060 Paradise of joy. 

1 For thee, O dear, dear country, 
Mine eyes their vigils keep ; 

For very love, beholding 
Thy happy name, they weep. 

The mention of thy glory 
Is unction to the breast, 

And medicine in sickness, 
And love, and life, and rest. 

2 O one, O only mansion, 
O paradise of joy ! 

Where tears are ever banished, 
And smiles have no alloy ; 

The Lamb is all thy splendor, 
The Crucified thy praise ; 

Ilis laud and benediction 
Thy ransomed people raise. 

3 With jasper glow thy bulwarks, 
Thy streets with emerald blaze ; 

The sardius and the topaz 
"Unite in thee their rays; 

Thine ageless walls are bonded 
With amethyst unpriced ; 

Thy saints build up its fabric, 
And the corner-stone is Christ. 



4 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean ; 
Thou hast no time, bright day : 

Dear fountain of refreshment 

To pilgrims far away : 
Upon the Rock of ages 

They raise thy holy tower ; 
Thine is the victor's laurel, 

And thine the golden dower. 

5 O sweet and blessed country, 
The home of God's elect ! 

O sweet and blessed country 
That eager hearts expect I 

Jesus, in mercy bring us 
To that dear land of rest ; 

Who art, with God the Father, 
And Spirit, ever blest.

1061 The home of God's elect. 
1 Jerusalem the golden, 

With milk and honey blest, 
Beneath thy contemplation 

Sink heart and voice oppressed : 

1 know not, I know not 
What social joys are there ; 

What radiancy of glory, 
What light beyond compare. 

2 They stand, those halls of Zion, 
All jubilant with song, 

And bright with many an angel, 
And ail the martyr throng : 

The Prince is ever in them, 
The daylight is serene ; 

The pastures of the blessed 
Are decked in glorious sheen.

Forever and forever 
Are clad in robes of white.

1 Ten thousand times ten thousand, 
In sparkling raiment bright, 

The armies of the ransomed saints 
Throng up the steeps of light : 

'Tis finished, all is finished, 
Their fight with death and sin : 

Fling open wide the golden gates, 
And let the victorsln. 

2 What rush of hallelujahs 
Fills all the earth and sky ! 

What ringing of a thousand harps 
Bespeaks the triumph nigh ! 

O day, for which creation 
And all its tribes were made ! 

O joy, for all its former woes 
A thousand fold repaid ! 

3 then what raptured greetings 
On Canaan's happy shore. 

What knitting severed friendships up, 
Where partings are no more ! 

Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, 
That brimmed with tears of late, 

Orphans no longer fatherless, 
Nor widows desolate.

10 Do The heavenly Jerusalem. 

1 Away with our sorrow and fear, 
We soon shall recover our home ; 

The city of saints shall appear, 

The day of eternity come. 
From earth we shall quickly remove, 

And mount to our native abode, 
The house of our Father above, 

The palace of angels and God. 

2 By faith we already behold 
That lovely Jerusalem here : 

Her walls are of jasper and gold, 
As crystal her buildings are clear ; 

Immovably founded in grace, 
She stands as she ever hath stood, 

And brightly her Builder displays, 
And flames with the glory of God. 

3 No need of the sun in that day 
Which never is followed by night, 

Where Jesus's beauties display 
A pure and a permanent light : 

The Lamb is their light and their sun, 
And lo ! by reflection they shine ; 

With Jesus ineffably one, 
And bright in effulgence divine.

J. Ot)4r Desiring to depart. 

1 I long to behold Him arrayed 
With glory and light from above ; 

The King in his beauty displayed, 
His beauty of holiest love: 

1 languish and sigh to be there, 
Where Jesus hath fixed his abode ; 

when shall we meet in the air, 
And fly to the mountain of God ! 

2 With him I on Zion shall stand, 
For Jesus hath spoken the word ; 

The breadth of Immanuel's land 
Survey by the light of my Lord : 

But when, on thy bosom reclined, 
Thy face I am strengthened to see, 

My fullness of rapture I find, 
My heaven of heavens in thee. 

3 How happy the people that dwell 
Secure in the city above ! 

No pain the inhabitants feel, 
No sickness or sorrow shall prove. 

Physician of souls, unto me 
Forgiveness and holiness give ; 

And then from the body set free, 
And then to the city receive. 

CHAKLES WESLEY.

lOuO To be with Christ is far better. 

1 when shall we sweetly remove, 
O when shall we enter our rest, 

Return to the Zion above, 
The mother of spirits distressed ! 

That city of God the great King, 
Where sorrow and death are ho more, 

But saints our Immanuel sing, 
And cherub and seraph adore. 

2 Not all the archangels can tell 
The joys of that holiest place, 

Where Jesus is pleased to reveal 
The light of his heavenly face : 

When, caught in the rapturous flame, 
The sight beatific they prove, 

And walk in the light of the Lamb, 
Enjoying the beams of his love. 

3 Thou know'st in the spirit of prayer 
We long thy appearing to see, 

Resigned to the burden we bear, 
But longing to triumph with thee: 

'Tis good at thy word to be here; 
'Tis better in thee to be gone, 

And see thee in glory appear, 
And rise to a share in thy throne.

1066 /» wA»c array. 

1 Who are these arrayed in white, 
Brighter than the noonday sun, 

Foremost of the sons of light, 
Nearest the eternal throne? 

These are they that bore the cross, 
Nobly for their Master stood ; 

Sufferers in his righteous cause, 
Followers of the dying God. 

2 Out of great distress they came, 
Washed their robes by faith below, 

In the blood of yonder Lamb, 
Blood that washes white as snow ; 

Therefore are they next the throne, 
Serve their Maker day and night; 

God resides among his own, 
God doth in his saints delight. 

3 More than conquerors at last, 
Here they find their trials o'er; 

They have all their sufferings passed, 
Hunger now and thirst no more. 

He that on the throne doth reign, 
Them the Lamb shall always feed, 

With the tree of life sustain, 
To the living fountains lead. 

CHARLES WESLEY.

1067 Night lost in day. 

1 Hioh in yonder realms of light, 
Dwell the raptured saints above; 

Far beyond our feeble sight, 
Happy in Immanuel's love : 

Pilgrims in this vale of tears, 
Once they knew, like us below, 

Gloomy doubts, distressing fears, 
Torturing pain, and heavy woe. 

2 But these days of weeping o'er. 
Passed this scene of toil and pain, 

They shall feel distress no more, 

Never, never weep again : 
'Mid the chorus of the skies, 

'Mid the angelic lyres above, 
Hark, their songs melodious rise, 

Songs of praise to Jesus' love ! 

3 All is tranquil and serene, 
Calm and undisturbed repose : 

There no cloud can intervene, 
There no angry tempest blows: 

Every tear is wiped away, 
Sighs no more shall heave the breast, 

Night is lost in endless day, 
Sorrow, in eternal rest.

J-Ubu The better portion. 

1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, 
Thy better portion trace ; 

Rise from transitory things 
Toward heaven, thy native place : 

Sun, and moon, and stars decay ; 
Time shall soon this earth remove ; 

Rise, my soul, and haste away 
To seats prepared above. 

2 Rivers to the ocean run, 
Nor stay in all their course ; 

Fire ascending seeks the sun ; 

Both speed them to their source : 
So a soul that 's born of God, 

Pants to view his glorious face ; 
Upward tends to his abode, 

To rest in his embrace. 

3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, 
Press onward to the prize ; 

Soon our Saviour will return 

Triumphant in the skies : 
There we '11 join the heavenly train, 

Welcomed to partake the bliss ; 
Fly from sorrow, care, and pain, 

To realms of endless peace.

lOoy Saints and angels round the throne. 

1 Lift your eyes of faith, and see 
Saints and angels joined in one : 

What a countless company 
Stand before yon dazzling throne ! 

Each before his Saviour stands, 
Ail in whitest robes arrayed ; 

Palms they carry in their hands, 
Crowns of glory on their head. 

2 Saints begin the endless song, 
Cry aloud in heavenly lays, 

Glory doth to God belong, 
God, the glorious Saviour, praise : 

All salvation from him came, 
Him, who reigns enthroned on high; 

Glory to the bleeding Lamb, 
Let the morning stars reply. 

3 Angel powers the throne surround, 
Next the saints in glory they ; 

Lulled with the transporting sound, 
They their silent homage pay : 

Prostrate on their face, before 
God and his Messiah fall ; 

Then in hymns of praise adore, 
Shout the Lamb that died for all.

1 OTO rftc m'7W is far spent, the day is at 
^ ' hand.— Rom. 13 : 12. 

1 Hark, hart, my soul ! angelic songs are 

swelling 
O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave- 
heat shore : 
How sweet the truth those blessed strains 
are telling 
Of that new life when sin shall he no more ! 
Angels of Jesus, angels of light, 
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the 
night! 

2 Onward we go, for still we hear them 

singing, 
" Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you 
cume :" 



And through the dark, its echoes sweetly 
ringing, 
The music of the gospel leads us home. 

3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, 
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea, 

And laden souls by thousands, meekly steal- 
ing, 

Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to 
thee. 

4 Rest comes at length, though life be lon& 

and dreary; 
The day must dawn, and darksome night 

be past ; 
All journeys end in welcome to the weary, 
And heaven, the heart's true home, wLl 

come at last. 

5 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches 

keeping ; 

Sing us sweet fragments of the songs 
above ; 
Till morning's joy shall end the night of 
weeping, 

And life's long shadows break in cloud- 
less love.

10/2 Tfte heavenly home. 

1 My heavenly home is bright and fair: 
Nor pain nor death can enter there ; 

Its glittering towers the sun outshine; 

That heavenly mansion shall be mine. 
I'm going home, I'm going home, 
I'm going home to die no more; 
To die no more, to die no more, 
I 'm going home to die no more. 

2 My Father's house is built on high, 
Far, far above the starry sky. 
When from this earthly prison free, 
That heavenly mansion mine shall be. 

3 While here, a stranger far from home, 
Affliction's waves may round me foam ; 
Although, like Lazarus, sick and poor, 
My heavenly mansion is secure. 

4 Let others seek a home below, 
Winch flames devour, or waves o'erflow, 
Be mine the happier lot to own 

A heavenly mansion near the throne. 

5 Then fail the earth, let stars decline, 
And sun and moon refuse to shine, 
All nature sink and cease to be, 
That heavenly mansion stands for me. 



[12, 9. Tune, Rapture. Page 164. 
10 / O Rapturous anticipation. 

1 Come, let us ascend, 

My companion and friend, 
To a taste of the banquet above : 

If thy heart be as mine, 

If for Jesus it pine, 
Come up into the chariot of love. 



404 



2 Who in Jesus confide, 
We are bold to outride 

The storms of affliction beneath; 

With the prophet we soar 

To the heavenly shore, 
And outfly all the arrows of death. 

3 By faith we are come 
To our permanent home ; 

By hope we the rapture improve : 
By love we still rise, 
And look down on the skies, 

For the heaven of heavens is love. 

4 Who on earth can conceive 
How happy we live, 

In the palace of God the great King? 

What a concert of praise, 

When our Jesus's grace 
The whole heavenly company sing ! 

5 What a rapturous song, 
When the glorified throng 

In the spirit of harmony join ; 

Join all the glad choirs, 

Hearts, voices, and lyres, 
And the burden is, " Mercy divine ! " 

6 "Hallelujah," they cry, 
To the King of the sky, 

To the great everlasting I AM; 

To the Lamb that was slain, 

And that liveth again,— 
"Hallelujah to God and the Lamb! " 

CHARLES WESLEV. 

Doxology. 

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; 
Praise him, all creatures here below ; 
Praise him above, ye heavenly host ; 
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost !

Eternity near. 

1 Come, let us anew our journey pursue, 

With vigor arise, 
And press to our permanent place in the 

skies. 
Of heavenly birth, though wandering on 
earth, 
This is not our place. 
But strangers and pilgrims ourselves we 
confess. 

2 At Jesus's call, we gave up our all; 

And still we forego, 
For Jesus's sake, our enjoyments below. 
No longing we find for the country behind ; 

But onward we move, 
And still we are seeking a country above : 



3 A country of joy without any alloy ; 

We thither repair ; 
Our hearts and our treasure already are 

there. 
We march hand in hand to Emmanuel's 
land; 
No matter what cheer 
We meet with on earth, for eternity 's near. 

4 The rougher our way, the shorter our 

stay ; 
The tempests that rise 
Shall gloriously hurry our souls to the skies : 
The fiercer the blast, the sooner 'tis past; 

The troubles that come 
Shall come to our rescue, and hasten us 
home.

And him my only portion make,

He calls a worm his friend, 



He calls himself my God

Through Jesus' blood.

Triumphant o'er the world and sin, 

The Prince of peace ; 
On Zion's sacred height, 

His kingdom still maintains ; 
And, glorious, with his saints in light 

Forever reigns.

He guards them by bis side ;

And seeks the things above.

The sower hid the grain, 

Thy goodness marked its secret birth, 
And sent the early rain.

The plants in beauty grew ; 
Thou gav'st refulgent suns to shine, 
And the refreshing dew.

Matured the swelling grain ; 

A kindly harvest crowns thy love, 
And plenty nils the plain.

Then the full corn shall appear : 
Lord of harvest, grant that we 
Wholesome grain and pure may be.

And shall take his harvest home ; 
From his field shall in that day 
All offenses purge away ; 

Give his angels charge at last 
In the fire the tares to cast ; 
But the fruitful ears to store 
In his garner evermore.

To thy final harvest-home ;

lO^O Praise to the Lord of harvest. 

1 Sing to the Lord of harvest ! 
Sing songs of love and praise ! 

With joyful hearts and voices 

Your hallelujahs raise: 
By him the rolling seasons 

In fruitful order move; 
Sing to the Lord of harvest 

A song of happy love. 

2 By him the clouds drop fatness, 
The deserts bloom and spring, 

The hills leap up in gladness, 
The valleys laugh and sing : 

He fllleth with his fullness 
All tbings with large increase, 

He crowns the year with goodness, 
With plenty, and with peace. 

3 Heap on his sacred altar 
The gifts his goodness gave, 

The golden sheaves of harvest, 
The souls he died to save : 

Tour hearts lay down before him 
When at his feet ye fall, 

And with your lives adore him 
Who gave his life for all. 

4 To God, the gracious Father, 
Who made us "very good," 

To Christ, who, when we wandered 
Restored us with his blood,

And to the Holy Spirit, 

Who dotb upon us pour 
His blessed dews and sunshine, 

Be praise for evermore ! 

JOHN S. B. MONSELU 

lOoO God's gifts in nature. 

1 We plow the fields and scatter 
The good seed on the land, 

But it is fed and watered 

By God's almighty band; 
He sends the snow in winter. 

The warmth to swell the grain, 
The breezes and the sunshine, 

And soft refreshing rain. 

2 He only is the Maker 

Of all things near and far ; 
He paints the wayside flower, 

He lights the evening star; 
The winds and waves obey him, 

By him the birds are fed ; 
Much more to us, his children, 

He gives our daily bread. 

3 We thank thee, then, O Father, 
For all things bright and good, 

The seed-time and the harvest, 
Our life, our health, our food; 

Accept the gifts we offer 
For all thy love imparts, 

And, what thou most desirest, 
Our humble, thankful hearts.

1 The God of harvest praise; 
In loud thanksgiving raise 

Hand, heart, and voice ; 
The valleys laugh and sing, 
Forests and mountains ring, 
The plains their tribute bring, 

The streams rejoice. 

2 Yea, bless his holy name, 
And joyful thanks proclaim 

Through all the earth ; 
To glory in your lot 
Is comely,— but be not 
God's benefits forgot, 

Amid your mirth. 

3 The God of harvest praise ; 
Hands, hearts, and voices raise 

With one accord ; 
From field to garner throng, 
Bearing your sheaves along, 
And in your harvest song 

Bless ye the Lord.

Are preaching of decay, 
The hollow winds are calling, 

"Come, pilgrim, come away ! " 

27 a 



The day, in night declining, 

Says I must, too, decline ; 
The year, its life resigning,— 

Its lot foreshadows mine. 

2 The light my path surrounding, 
The loves, to which I cling, 

The hopes within me bounding, 
The joys that round me wing,— 

All melt, like stars of even, 
Before the morning's ray, 

Pass upward unto heaven, 
And chide at my delay. 

3 The friends, gone there before me, 
Are calling from on high ; 

And joyous angels o'er me 
Tempt sweetly to the sky: 

" Why wait," they say, "and wither 
'Mid scenes of death and sin? 

O rise to glory, hither, 
And find true life begin." 

4 I hear the invitation, 

And fain would rise and come,— 
A sinner, to salvation ; 

An exile, to his home : 
But, while I here must linger, 

Thus, thus let all I see 
Point on, with faithful finger, 

To heaven, O Lord, and thee.

1 My country ! 'tis of thee, 
Sweet land of liberty, 

Of thee I sing : 
Land where my fathers died ! 
Land of the pilgrims' pride I 
From every mountain side 

Let freedom ring ! 

2 My native country, thee, 
Land of the noble, free, 

Thy name I love; 
I love thy rocks and rills, 
Thy woods and templed hills : 
My heart with rapture thrills 

Like that above. 

3 Let music swell the breeze, 
And ring from all the tree3 

Sweet freedom's song : 
Let mortal tongues awake ; 
Let all that breathe partake ; 
Let rocks their silence break, 

The sound prolong. 

4 Our fathers' God ! to thee, 
Author of liberty, 

To thee we sing : 
Long may our land be bright 
With freedom's holy light ; 
Protect us by thy might, 

Great God, our King!

Firm may she ever stand, 
Through storm and night :

When the wild tempests rave, 
Ruler of wind and wave, 
Do thou our country save 
By thy great might ! 

2 For her our prayer shall rise 
To God, above the skies ; 

On him we wait : 
Thou who art ever nigh, 
Guarding with watchful eye, 
To thee aloud we cry, 

God save the State !

1 Dread Jehovah ! God of nations ! 
From thy temple in the skies, 

Hear thy people's supplications ; 
Now for their deliverance rise. 

2 Lo ! with deep contrition turning, 
In thy holy place we bend ; 

Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning ; 
Hear us, spare us, and defend. 

3 Though our sins, our hearts confound 

ing, 
Long and loud for vengeance call, 
Thou hast mercy more abounding ; 
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all. 

4 Let that mercy veil transgression ; 
Let that blood our guilt efface : 

Save thy people from oppression ; 
Save from spoil thy holy place.

Ever own and worship God.

100 -t Mercy implored. 

1 Great Kin? of nations, hear our prayer, 
While at thy feet we fall, 

And humbly, with united cry, 
To thee for mercy call. 

2 The guilt is ours, but grace is thine, 
turn us not away ; 

But hear us from thy lofty throne, 
And help us when we pray. 

3 Our fathers' sins were manifold, 
And ours no less we own, 

Yet wondrously from age to age 
Thy goodness hath been shown. 

4 When dangers, like a stormy sea, 
Beset our country round, 

To thee we looked, to thee we cried, 
And help in thee was found. 

5 With one consent we meekly bow 
Beneath thy chastening hand, 

And, pouring forth confession meet, 
Mourn with our mourning land. 

6 With pitying eye behold our need, 
As thus we lift our prayer; 

Correct us with thy judgments, Lord, 
Then let thy mercy spare. 

JOHN B. GURNEY. 

1 O For protection in pestilence. 

1 In grief and fear to thee, Lord, 
We now for succor fly ; 

Thine awful judgments are abroad, 
O shield us, lest we die. 

2 The fell disease on every side 
Walks forth with tainted breath ; 



^J 



And pestilence, with rapid stride, 
Bestrews the land with death. 

3 look with pity on the scene 
Of sadness and of dread ; 

And let thine angel stand between 
The living and the dead. 

4 With contrite hearts, to thee, our King, 
We turn who oft have strayed ; 

Accept the sacrifice we bring, 
And let the plague be stayed. 

WILLIAM BULLOCK. 

1 O O Impendin g judgmen ts. 

1 Come, let our souls adore the Lord, 
Whose judgments yet delay; 

Who yet suspends the lifted sword, 
And gives us time to pray. 

2 Great is our guilt, our fears are great, 
But let us not despair; 

Still open is the mercy-seat 
To penitence and prayer. 

3 Kind Intercessor, to thy love 
This blessed hope we owe : 

O let thy merits plead above, 
While we implore below. 

4 Though justice near thy awful throna 
Attends thy dread command, 

Lord, hear thy servants, hear thy Son, 
And save a guilty land. 

ANNS STEELS.

10e7 / National deliverance ascribed to God. 

1 O Lord, our fathers oft have told, 
In our attentive ears, 

Thy wonders in their days performed, 
And in more ancient years. 

2 'Twas not their courage, nor their sword, 
To them salvation gave ; 

'Twas not their number, nor their strength, 
That did their country save ; 

3 But thy right hand, thy powerful arm, 
Whose succor they implored ; 

Thy providence protected them, 
Who thy great name adored. 

4 As thee their God our fathers owned, 
So thou art still our King ; 

O, therefore, as thou didst to them, 
To us deliverance bring. 

5 To thee the glory we ascribe, 
From whom salvation came ; 

In God, our shield, we will rejoice, 
And ever bless thy name. 



lUyo Prayer for our native land. 

1 Lord, while for all mankind we pray, 
Of every clime and coast, 

hear us for our native land, — 
The land we love the most. 

2 guard our shores from every foe ; 
With peace our borders bless, 

Our cities with prosperity, 
Our fields with plenteousness. 



3 Unite us in the sacred love 

Of knowledge, truth, and thee; 
And let our hills and valleys shout 
The songs of liberty. 

4 Lord of the nations, thus to thee 
Our country we commend ; 

Be thou her refuge and her trust, 
Her everlasting friend. 



IQyy Strong to heal and save. 

1 Thine arm, Lord, in days of old 
Was strong to heal and save ; 

It triumphed o'er disease and death, 
O'er darkness and the grave : 

To thee they went, the blind, the dumb, 
The palsied and the lame, 

The leper with his tainted life, 
The sick with fevered frame. 

2 And lo, thy touch brought life and health, 
Gave speech, and strength, and sight ; 

And youth renewed and frenzy calmed 
Owned thee, the Lord of light: 

And now, O Lord, be near to bless, 
Almighty as of yore, 

In crowded street, by restless couch, 
As by Gennesareth's shore. 

I 3 Be thou our great Deliverer still, 

Thou Lord of life and death ; 
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless 

With thine almighty breath. 
To hands that work, and eyes that see, 

Give wisdom's heavenly lore, 
That whole and sick, and weak and strong, 

May praise thee evermore.

JLJLOO National blessings. 

1 Great God of nations, now to thee 
Our hymn of gratitude we raise ; 

With humble heart, and bending knee, 
We offer thee our song of praise. 

2 Thy name we bless, Almighty God, 
For all the kindness thou hast shown 

To this fair land the pilgrims trod,— 
This land we fondly call our own. 

3 Here freedom spreads her banner wide, 
And casts her soft and hallowed ray ; 

Here thou our fathers' steps didst guide 
In safety through their dangerous way. 

4 We praise thee that the gospel's light 
Through all our land its radiance sheds : 

Dispels the shades of error's night, 
And heavenly blessings round us spreads. 

5 Great God, preserve us in thy fear; 
In danger still our guardian be; 

spread thy truth's bright precepts here; 
Let all the people worship thee. 

DHKHOWH. 

HOI Thanksgiving for national peace. 

1 Great Ruler of the earth and skies, 
A word of thine almighty breath 

Can sink the world, or bid it rise: 
Thy smile is life, thy frown is death. 



2 When angry nations rush to arms. 
And rage, and noise, and tumult reign, 

And war resounds its dire alarms, 
And slaughter dyes the hostile plain,— 



3 Thy sovereign eye looks calmly down, 
And marks their course, and bounds their 

power ; 
Thy law the angry nations own, 
And noise and war are heard no more. 

4 Then peace returns with balmy wing; 
Sweet peace, with her what blessings fled 1 

Glad plenty laughs, the valleys sing, 
Reviving commerce lifts her head. 

5 To thee we pay our grateful songs ; 
Thy kind protection still implore : 

may our hearts, and lives, and tongues, 
Confess thy goodness, and adore. 

ANNE STEELE. 

11U« Give peace, O God. 

1 O God of love, O King of peace, 

Make wars throughout the world to cease ; 
The wrath of sinful man restrain ; 
Give peace, God, give peace again. 

2 Remember, Lord, thy works of old, 
The wonders that our fathers told ; 
Remember not our sin's dark stain ; 
Give peace, O God, give peace again. 

3 Whom shall we trust but thee, Lord ? 
Where rest but on thy faithful word? 
None ever called on thee in vain ; 

Give peace, God, give peace again. 



4 Where saints and angels dwell above, 
All hearts are knit in holy love ; 
O bind us in that heavenly chain ; 
Give peace, God, give peace again.

HO O God, £he nation's guardian. 

1 Great God ! beneath whose piercing eye 
The earth's extended kingdoms lie ; 
Whose favoring smile upholds them all, 
Whose anger smites them, and they fall ; 

2 We bow before thy heavenly throne ; 
Thy power we see, thy greatness own ; 
Yet, cherished by thy milder voice, 
Our bosoms tremble and rejoice. 

3 Thy kindness to our fathers shown 
Their children's children long shall own ; 
To thee, with grateful hearts, shall raise 
The tribute of exulting praise. 

4 Led on by thine unerring aid, 
Secure the paths of life we tread; 
And, freely as the vital air, 

Thy first and noblest bounties share. 

5 Great God, our Guardian, Guide, and 

Friend ! 

still thy sheltering arm extend ; 
Preserved by thee for ages past, 
For ages let thy kindness last ! 

WILLIAM BOSCOE, ALT. 

XjL04: In time of war. 

1 Now may the God of grace and power 
Attend his people's humble cry ; 

Defend them in the needful hour, 
And send deliverance from on high. 

2 In his salvation is our hope ; 
And in the name of Israel's God 

Our troops shall lift their banners up, 
Our navies spread their flags abroad. 



3 Some trust in horses trained for war, 
And some of chariots make their boasts ; 

Our surest expectations are 
From thee, the Lord of heavenly hosts. 

4 Then, save us, Lord, from slavish fear, 
And let our trust be firm and strong, 

Till thy salvation shall appear, 
And hymns of peace conclude our song. 

ISAAC WATTS.

1 To thee, God, whose guiding hand 
Our fathers led across the sea, 

And brought them to this barren shore, 
Where they might freely worship thee,— 

2 To thee, O God, whose arm sustained 
Their footsteps in this desert land, 

Where sickness lurked and death assailed, 
And foes beset on every hand,— 

3 To thee, O God, we lift our eyes, 
To thee our grateful voices raise, 

And, kneeling at thy gracious throne, 
Devoutly join in hymns of praise. 

4 Our fathers' God, incline thine ear, 
And listen to our heartfelt prayer ; 

Surround us with thy heavenly grace. 
And guard us with thy constant care, 

5 Our fathers' God, in thee we '11 trust, 
Sheltered by thee from every harm ; 

We '11 follow where thy hand shall guide, 
And lean on thy sustaining arm.

11 Oo Household love. 

1 love, divine and tender ! 

That through our homes doth move, 
Veiled in the softened splendor 

Of holy household love : 
A throne, without thy blessing, 

Were labor without rest, 
And cottages, possessing 

Thy blessedness, are blest. 

2 God bless these hands united, 
God bless these hearts made one ; 

Unsevered and unblighted 
May they through life go on : 

Here, in earth's home, preparing 
For the bright home above, 

And there, forever sharing 
Its joy, where "God is love."

418 



When Jesus deigned in Cana's hall 
To bless the marriage day ! 

2 And happy was the bride, 

And glad the bridegroom's heart, 
For he who tarried at their side 
Bade grief and ill depart. 

3 His gracious power divine 
The water vessels knew ; 

And plenteous was the mystic wine 
The wondering servants drew. 

4 O Lord of life and love, 
Come thou again to-day ; 

And bring a blessing from above 
That ne'er shall pass away. 

5 O bless, as erst of old, 

The bridegroom and the bride ; 
Bless with the holier stream that flowed 
Forth from thy pierced side. 

6 Before thine altar-throne 
This mercy we implore : 

As thou dost knit them, Lo^d, in one, 
So bless them evermore.

Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, 
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep 

Its own appointed limits keep ;

Of billows that never can sleep ;

As on toward the haven we roll ; 
And faith in our Pilot shall be 

An anchor to steady the soul.

1111 For mariners. 

1 While o'er the deep thy servants sail, 
Send thou, Lord, the prosperous gale ; 
And on their hearts, where'er they go, 
let thy heavenly breezes blow. 

2 If on the morning's wings they fly, 
They will not pass beyond thine eye : 

The wanderer's prayer thou bend'st to hear, 
And faith exults to know thee near. 

3 When tempests rock the groaning bark, 
O hide them safe in Jesus' ark ; 

When in the tempting port they ride, 

keep them safe at Jesus' side. 

4 If life's wide ocean smile or roar, 
Still guide them to the heavenly shore; 
And grant their dust in Christ may sleep, 
Abroad, at home, or in the deep.

Whose power the wind, the sea, controls, I 

Whose hand doth earth and heaven sustain, | 
Whose Spirit leads believing souls ; 

2 'Tis here thine unknown paths we trace, 
Which dark to human eyes appear; 

While through the mighty waves we pass, 
Faith only sees that God is here. 

3 Throughout the deep thy footsteps shine ; 
We own thy way is in the sea, 

O'erawed by majesty divine, 
And lost in thine immensity.

Thine everlasting truth we prove; 
Amazing heights of boundless power, 

Unfathomable depths of love.

1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord ! 
How sure is their defense ! 

Eternal Wisdom is their guide, 
Their help, Omnipotence. 

2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, 
Supported by thy care, 

Through burning climes they pass unhurt, 
And breathe in tainted air. 

3 When by the dreadful tempest borne 
High on the broken wave, 

They know thou art not slow to hear, 
Nor impotent to save. 

4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, 
Obedient to thy will ; 

The sea, that roars at thy command, 
At thy command is still. 

5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, 
Thy goodness we'll adore; 

We 'II praise thee for thy mercies past, 
And humbly hope for more. 

6 Our life, while thou preserv'st that life. 
Thy sacrifice shall be ; 

And death, when death shall be our lot, 
Shall join our souls to thee.

Psalm xc. 

1 Lord, thou hast | been our | dwelling-place II in | all— | gener- | ations. 

2 Before tite mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth | and 

the I world, II even from everlasting to everlasting, | thou— \ art— \ God. 

3 Thou turnest man | to de- | struction ; II and sayest, Re- | turn, ye | children --of | 

men. 

4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when \itis\ past, II and \ 

as a I watch --in the | night. 

5 Thou earnest them away as with a flood ; they are | as a | sleep : II in the morning 

they are like | grass which | groweth | up. 

6 In the morning it flourisheth, and | groweth | up; II in the evening it is cut | down 

and I wither- ] eth. 

7 For we are consumed | by thine | anger, II and by thy | wrath— | are we | troubled. 

8 Thou hast set our iniquities be- | fore — | thee, I our secret sins in the | light of \ 

thy— I countenance. 

9 For all our days are passed away | in thy | wrath ; | we spend our years | as a | 

tale --that is | told. 

10 Tfie days of our years are threescore | years and \ ten- || and if by reason of 

strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow ; for it is 
soon cut off, I and we \ fly a- \ way. 

11 Who knoweth the power | of thine | anger? II even according to thy fear, | so— | 

is thy I wrath. 

12 So teach us to | number — our | days, II that we may apply our | hearts— \ unto \ 

wisdom. 

13 Return, O | Lord, how | long? II and let it repent | thee con- | cerning--thy i 

servants. 

14 satisfy us early \ with thy | mercy; II that we may rejoice and be | glad— | 

all our I days. 

15 Make us glad according to the days wherein | thou — hast af- | flicted us, II and the 

years wherein | we have | seen— | evil. 

16 Let thy work, appear un- \ to thy | servants, II and thy \ glory un- | to their | 

children ; 
♦17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God | be up- | on us : II and establish thou the 
work of our hands upon us ; yea, the work of our | hands, es- | tablish thou | it.

[Let every adult person, and the parents 
of every child to be baptized, have the 
choice of either sprinkling, pouring, or im- 
mersion.] 

[We will on no account whatever make a 
charge for administering Baptism. J 

Order for the Administration of 
Baptism to Infants. 

The Minister, coming to the Font, which 
is to be filled with pure Water, shall use 
the following : 

Dearly Beloved, forasmuch as all 
men are conceived and born in sin, and 
that our Saviour Christ saith, Except a 
man be born of water and of the Spirit 
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God ; 
I beseech you to call upon God the 
Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, 
that having, of his bounteous mercy, re- 
deemed this child by the blood of his 
Son, he will grant that he, being bap- 
tized with water, may also be baptized 
with the Holy Ghost, be received into 
Christ's holy Church, and become a 
lively Member of the same. 

Then shall the Minister say, 
Let us pray. 

Almighty and Everlasting God, who of 
thy great mercy hast condescended to 
enter into covenant relations with man, 
wherein thou hast included children as 
partakers of its gracious benefits, declar- 
ing that of sucli is thy kingdom; and in 
thy ancient Church didst appoint divers 
baptisms, figuring thereby the renewing 
of the Holy Ghost; and by thy well-be- 
loved Son Jesus Christ gavest command- 
ment to thy holy Apostles to go into all 
the world and disciple all nations, bap- 
tizing them in the name of the Father, 
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : 



we beseech thee, that of thine infinite 
mercy thou wilt look upon this child : 
wash him and sanctify him ; that he, 
being saved by thy grace, may be re- 
ceived into Christ's holy Church, and 
being steadfast in faith, joyful through 
hope, and rooted in love, may so over- 
come the evils of this present world that 
finally he may attain to everlasting life, 
and reign with thee, world without end, 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

O merciful God, grant that all carnal 
affections may die in him, and that all 
things belonging to the Spirit may live 
and grow in him. Amen. 

Grant that he may have power and 
strength to have victory, and to triumph 
against the devil, the world, and the 
flesh. Amen. 

Grant that whosoever is dedicated to 
thee by our Office and Ministry may 
also be endued with heavenly virtues 
and everlastingly rewarded through 
thy mercy, O blessed Lord God, who 
dost live and govern all things, world 
without end. Amen. 

Almighty, Everliving God, whose 
most dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ, 
for the forgiveness of our sins, did shed 
out of his most precious side both water 
and blood, regard, we beseech thee, our 
supplications. Sanctify this water for 
this Holy Sacrament ; and grant that this 
child, now to t>e baptized, may receive 
the fullness of thy grace, and ever re- 
main in the number of thy faithful at id 
elect children, through Jesus Christ oui 
Lord. Amen. 

Then shell the Minister address the Par- 
ents or Guardians as follows : 

Dearly beloved, forasmuch as this 
child is now presented by you for Chris- 
tian Baptism, you must remember that it 
is your part and duty to see that he be 
taught, as soon as he shall be able to

learn, the nature tmd end of this Holy 
Sacrament. And that he may know 
these things the better, you shall call 
upon him to give reverent attendance 
upon the appointed means of grace, such 
as the ministry of the word, and the pub- 
lic and private worship of God ; and fur- 
ther, you shall provide that he shall read 
the Holy Scriptures, and learn the Lord's 
Prayer, the Ten Commandments, the 
Apostles' Creed, the Catechism, and all 
other things which a Christian ought to 
know and believe to his soul's health, in 
order that he may be brought up to lead 
a virtuous and holy life, remembering 
always that baptism doth represent unto 
us that inward purity which disposeth us 
to follow the example of our Saviour 
Christ; that as he died and rose again 
for us, so should we, who are baptized, 
die unto sin and rise again unto right- 
eousness, continually mortifying ;'ll cor- 
rupt affections, and daily proceeding in 
all virtue and godliness. 

Do you therefore solemnly engage to 
fulfill these duties, so far as in you lies, 
the Lord being your helper ? 

Ans. We do. 

Then shall the People stand up, and the 
Minuter shall say : 

Hear the words of the Gospel, written 
by St. Mark. [Chap, x, 13-16.] 

They brought young children to Christ, 
that he should touch them. And his 
disciples rebuked those that brought 
tii em. But when Jesus saw it, he was 
much displeased, and said unto them, 
Suffer the little children to come unto me, 
and forbid them not, for of such is the 
kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you. 
Whosoever shall not receive the king- 
dom of God as a little child, he shall not 
enter therein. And he took them up in 
his arms, put his hands upon them, and 
blessed them. 

TJten the Minister shall take the Child 
into his hands, and say to the friends 
of the Child, 

Name this child. 

And then, naming it after them, he shall 
sprinkle or pour Water upon it, or, if 
desired, immerse it in Water , saying, 

N., I baptize thee in the name of the 
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy 
Ghost. Amen. 



Then shall the Minister offer the fallow- 
ing Prayer, the people kneeling : 

O God of infinite mercy, the Father of 
all the faithful seed, be pleased to grant 
unto this child an understanding mind 
and a sanctified heart. May thy provi- 
dence lead him through the clangers, 
temptations, and ignorance of his youth, 
that he may never run into folly, nor into 
the evils of an unbridled appetite. We 
pray thee so to order the course of his 
life, that by good education, by holy ex- 
amples, and by thy restraining and re- 
newing grace, he may be led to serve thee 
faithfully all his clays ; so that, when he 
has glorified thee in his generation^ and 
has served the Church on earth, he may 
be received into thine eternal kingdom, 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Almighty and most merciful Father, 
let thy loving mercy and compassion de- 
scend upon these, thy servant and hand- 
maid, the parents [or guardians] of this 
child. Grant unto them, we beseech 
thee, thy Holy Spirit, that they may, 
like Abraham, command their household 
to keep the way of the Lord. Direct 
their actions, and sanctify their hearts, 
words, and purposes, that their whole 
family may be united to our Lord Jesus 
Christ in the bands of faith, obedience, 
and charity ; and that they all, being 
in this life thy holy children by adop- 
tion and grace, may be admitted into 
the Church of the first-born in heaven, 
through the merits of thy dear Son, our 
Saviour and Redeemer. Amen. 

Then may the Minister offer extemporary 
Prayer. 

Then shall be said, all kneeling : 

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed 
be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy 
will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
Give us this clay our daily bread : and 
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive 
them that trespass against us : and lead 
us not into temptation, but deliver us 
from evil: for thine is the kingdom, 
and the power, and the glory, forever. 
Amen. 



Order for the Administration of Bap- 
tism TO SUCH AS ARE OF RlPER YEARS. 

Dearly Beloved, forasmuch as all 
men are conceived and born in sin ; and 



493 



THE EITUAL. 



that which is born of the flesh is flesh, 
and they that are in the flush cannot 
please God, but live in sin, committing 
many actual transgressions ; and our 
Saviour Christ saith, Except a man be 
born of water and of the Spirit he cannot 
enter into the kingdom of God : 1 be- 
seech you to call upon God the Father, 
through our Lord Jesus Christ, that ot 
his bounteous goodness he will grant to 
these persons that which by nature they 
cannot have; that they, being baptized 
with water, may also be baptized with 
the Holy Ghost, and, being received into 
Christ's holy Church, may continue live- 
ly Members of the same. 

Then shall the Minister say. 
Let us pray. 
Almighty and Immortal God, the aid 
of all that need, the helper of all that flee 
to thee for succor, the life of them that 
believe, and the resurrection of the dead : 
we call upon thee for these persons, that 
they, coming to thy Holy Baptism, may 
also be filled with thy Holy Spirit. Be- 
ceive them, O Lord, as thou hast prom- 
ised by thy well-beloved Son, saying, 
Ask, and ye shall receive ; seek, and ye 
shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened 
unto you ; so give now unto us that ask ; 
let us that seek, find ; open the gate unto 
us that knock ; that these persons may 
enjoy the everlasting benediction of thy 
heavenly washing, and may come to the 
eternal kingdom which thou hast prom- 
ised, by Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Then shall the People stand up, and the 
Minister shall say : 

Hear the words of the Gospel, written 
by St. John. [Chap, iii, 1-8. J 

There was a man of the Pharisees, 
named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews : 
the same came to Jesus by night, and 
said unto him, Eabbi, we know that thou 
art a teacher come from God ; for no man 
can do these miracles that thou doest ex- 
cept God be with him. Jesus answered 
and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say 
unto thee, Except a man be born again, 
he cannot see the kingdom of God. 
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a 
man be born when he is old? Can he 
enter the second time into his mother's 
womb, and be born ? Jesus answered, 
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a 
man be born of water and of the Spirit he 
cannot enter into the kingdom of God, 



That which is born of the flesh is flesh, 
and that which is born of the Spirit is 
spirit. Marvel not that I said unto 
thee, Ye must be born again. The 
wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou 
hearest the sound thereof, but canst not 
tell A^dlenee it cometh, and whither it 
goeth ; so is every one that is born of 
the Spirit. 

Then the Minister shall speak to the Per- 
sons to be baptized on this wise : 

"Well Beloved, who have come hither 
desiring to receive Holy Baptism, } ou 
have heard how the Congregation hath 
prayed that our Lord Jesus Christ would 
vouchsafe to receive you, to bless you, 
and to give you the kingdom of heaven, 
and everlasting life. And our Lord 
Jesus Christ hath promised in his holy 
word to grant all those things that we 
have prayed for: which promise he for 
his part will most surely Keep and per- 
form. 

Wherefore, after this promise made by 
Christ, you must also faithfully, for your 
part, promise in the presence of this 
whole Congregation, that you will re- 
nounce the devil and all his works, and 
constantly believe God's holy word, and 
obediently keep his commandments. 

TJien shall the Minister demand of each 
of the Persons to be baptized : 

Quest. Dost thou renounce the dev'l 
and all his works, the vain pomp and 
glory of the world, with all covetous de- 
sires of the same, and the carnal desires 
of the flesh, so that thou wilt not follow 
nor be led by them ? 

Ans. I renounce them all. 

Quest. Dost thou believe in God the 
Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and 
earth ; 

And in Jesus Christ his only begotten 
Son our Lord ; and that he was con- 
ceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the 
Virgin Mary ; that he suffered under 
Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and 
buried ; that he rose again the third day ; 
that he ascended into heaven, and sitteth 
on the right hand of God the Father 
Almighty ; and from thence shall come 
again at the end of the world, to judge 
the quick and the dead ? 

And dost thou believe in the Holy 
Ghost; the holy catholic* Church; the 
communion of saints ; the forgiveness of 

* The one universal Church of Christ. 



499 



THE RITUAL. 



sins ; the resurrection of the body ; and 
everlasting life after death ? 

Ans. All this I steadfastly believe. 

Quest. "Wilt thou be baptized in this 
faith ? 

Ans. Such is my desire. 

Quest. Wilt thou then obediently keep 
God's holy will and commandments, and 
walk in the same all the days of thy 
life i 

Ans. I will endeavor so to do, God 
being my helper. 

Then shall the Minister say : 

Merciful God, grant that all carnal 
affections may die in these persons, and 
that all things belonging to the Spirit 
may live and grow in them. Amen. 

Grant that they may have power and 
strength to have victory, and triumph 
against the devil, the world, and the 
flesh. Amen. 

Grant that they, being here dedicated 
to thee by our Office and Ministry, may 
also be endued with heavenly virtues, 
and everlastingly rewarded, through thy 
mercy, O blessed Lord God, who dost 
live and govern all things, world with- 
out end. Amen. 

Almighty, Everliving God, whose most 
dearly beloved Son Jesus Christ, for the 
forgiveness of our sins, did shed out of 
his most precious side both water and 
blood ; and gave commandment to his 
disciples that they should go teach all 
nations, and baptize them in the name 
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the 
Holy Ghost ; regard, we beseech thee, 
our supplications ; and grant that the 
persons now to be baptized may recieve 
the fullness of thy grace, and ever remain 
in the number oi' thy faithful and elect 
children, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Amen. 

TJien shall the Minister ask the -name of 
each Person, to be baptized, and shall 
sprinkle or pour Water upon him (or, 
%f he shall desire it, shall immerse him 
in. Water), saying : 
JS 7 ., I baptize thee in the name of the 

Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy 

Ghost. Amen. 

TJien shall be said the Lord's Prayer, all 
kneeling : 
Our Father who a>-t in heaven, hal- 
lowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. 



Thy will be done in earth, as it is in 
heaven. Give us this day our daily 
bread : and forgive us our trespasses as 
we forgive them that trespass against us : 
and lead us not into temptation, but de- 
liver us from evil : for thine is the king- 
dom, and the power, and the glory, for- 
ever. Amen. 

Then may the Minister conclude with ex- 
temporary Prayer. 



Form tor Receiving Persons into the 
Church after Probation. 

Upon the day appointed, all that are to be 
received into the Church shall be called 
forward, and the Minister, addressing 
the Congregation, shall say : 

Dearly Beloved Brethren, the 
Scriptures teach us that the Church is 
the Household of God; the Body of 
which Christ is the Head ; and that it is 
the design of the Gospel to bring together 
in one all who are in Christ. The fellow- 
ship of the Church is the communion 
that its Members enjoy one with an- 
other. The ends of this fellowship are, 
the maintenance of sound doctrine and 
of the ordinances of Christian worship, 
and the exercise of that power of yodly 
admonition and discipline which Christ 
has committed to his Church for the pro- 
motion of holiness. It is the duty of all 
men to unite in this fellowship ; for it is 
only those that " be planted in the house 
of the Lord " that " shall flourish in tiie 
courts of our God." Its more particu- 
lar Duties are, to promote peace and 
unity ; to bear one another's burdens ; to 
prevent each other's stumbling; to seek 
the intimacy of friendly society among 
themselves ; to continue steadfast in the 
faith and worship of the Gospel ; and tc 
pray and sympathize with each other. 
Among its Privileges are, peculiar incite- 
ments to holiness from the hearing of 
God's word and sharing in Christ's ordi- 
nances ; the being placed under the 
watchful care of pastors; and the enjoy- 
ment of the blessings which are promised 
only to those who are of the Household 
of Faith. Into this Holy Fellowship 
the persons before you, who have already

THE RITUAL. 



received the Sacrament of Baptism, and 
have been under the care of proper leaders 
for six months on trial, come seeking ad- 
mission. We now propose, in the fear 
of God, to question tliem as to their faith 
and purposes, that you may know that 
they are proper persons to be admitted 
Into the Church. 



Then, addressing the Applicants for Ad- 
mission, the Minister shall say : 

Dearly Beloved, you are come hither 
seeking the great privilege of union with 
the Church our Saviour has purchased 
with his own blood. We rejoice in the 
grace of God vouchsafed unto you in 
that he has called you to be his follmvers, 
and that thus far you have run well. 
You have heard how blessed are the 
privileges, and how solemn are the du- 
ties, of Membership in Christ's Church ; 
and before you are t'ullyd amitted thereto, 
it is proper that you do here publicly re- 
new your vows, confess your faith, and 
declare your purpose, by answering the 
following questions : 

Do you here, in the presence of God 
and of this congregation, renew the sol- 
emn promise contained in the Baptismal 
Covenant, ratifying and confirming the 
same, and acknowledging yourselves 
bound faithfully to observe and keep 
that Covenant ? 

Ans. 1 do. 

Have you saving faith in the Lord Je- 
sus Christ ? 

Am. I trust 1 have. 

Do you believe in the Doctrines of the 
Holy Scriptures, as set forth in the Arti- 
cles of Religion or the Methodist Episco- 
pal Church ? 

Ans. I do. 

Will you cheerfully be governed by 
the Rules of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church, hold sacred the Ordinances of 
God, and endeavor, as much as in you 
lies, to promote the welfare of your 
brethren and the advancement of the 
Redeemer's kingdom ? 

Ans. 1 will. 

Will you contribute of your earthly 
substance, according to your ability, to 
the support of the Gospel and the various 
benevolent enterprises of the Church ? 

Ans. I will. 



Then the Minister, addressing the Churchy 
shall say : 

Brethren, these persons having given 
satisfactory responses to our inquiries, 
have any of you reason to allege why 
they should not be received into Full 
Membership in the Church? 

No objection being alleged, the Minister 
shall say to the Candidates : 

We welcome you to the communion of 
the Chm - ch of God ; and, in testimony of 
our Christian affection and the cordiality 
with which we receive you, 1 hereby ex- 
tend to you the right hand of fellowship ; 
and may God giant that you may be a 
faithful and useful Member of the Church 
militant till you are called to the fellow- 
ship of the Church triumphant, which 
is " without fault before the throne of 
God." 

Then shall the Minister offer extemporary 
Prayer. 



[Whenever practicable, let none but the 
pure, unfermeuted juice of the grape be 
Used in administering the Lord's Supper.] 

[Let persons who have scruples concern- 
ing the receiving of the Sacrament of the 
Lord's Supper kneeling be permitted to re- 
ceive it either standing or sitting.] 

[No person shall be admitted to the Lord's 
Supper among us who is guilty of any prac- 
tice for which we would exclude a Member 
of our Church.] 

Order for the Administration of the 
Lord's Supper. 

The Elder shall say one or more of these 
Sentences, during the reading of which 
the Persons appointed for that purpose 
shall receive the Alms for the Poor : 

Let your light so shine before men, 
that they may see your good works, and 
glorify your 'Father which is in heaven. 
[Matt, v, 16.] 

Lay not up for yourselves treasures 
upon earth, where moth and rust doth 
corrupt, and where thieves break through 
and steal : but lay up for yourselves 
treasures in heaven, where neither moth 
nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves 
do not break through nor steal. [Matt. 
vi, 19, 20.} -

THE RITUAL. 



__ Whatsoever ye would that men should 
do to you, do ye even so to them: for 
this is the law and the prophets. [Matt, 
vii, 12.] 

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, 
Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of 
heaven ; but, he that doeth the will of my 
Father which is in heaven. [Matt, vii, 
21.] 

Zaccheus stood, and said unto the Lord ; 
Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give 
to the poor ; and if 1 have taken anything 
from any man by false accusation, 1 re- 
store him fourfold. [Luke xix, 8.] 

He which soweth sparingly shall reap 
also sparingly ; and he which soweth 
bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 
Every man according as he purposeth in 
his heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, 
or of necessity, for God loveth a cheerful 
giver. [2 Cor. ix, 6, 7. J 

As we have therefore opportunity, let 
us do good unto all men, especially unto 
them who are of the household of faith. 
[Gal. vi, 10.] 

Godliness with contentment is great 
gain; ior we brought nothing into this 
world; and it is certain we can carry 
nothing out. [1 Tim. vi, 6, 7.] 

Charge them that are rich in this world, 
that they be not high-minded, nor trust 
in uncertain riches, but in the living God, 
who oiveth us richly all things to enjoy ; 
that they do good, that they be rich in 
good works, ready to distribute, willing 
to communicate ; laying up in store for 
themselves a good foundation against the 
time to come, that they may lay hold on 
eternal life. [1 Tim. vi, 17-19.] 

God is not unrighteous to forget your 
work and labor of love, which ye have 
showed toward his name, in that ye have 
ministered to the saints, and do minister. 
[Heb. vi, 10.] 

To do good, and to communicate, forget 
not; for with such sacrifices God is well 
pleased. [Heb. xiii, 16.] 

Whoso hath this world's good, and 
seeth his brother have need, and shutteth 
up his bowels of compassion from him, 
how dwelleth the love of God in him? 
[1 John Hi, 17.] 

He that hath pity up<m the poor, lend- 
eth unto the Lord ; find that which he 
hath given will he pay him again. [Pro v. 
xix, 17.] 

Blessed is he that considereth the poor ; 



the Lord will deliver him in time of 
trouble. [Psa. xli, 1.] 

Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto 
thy brother, to thy poor. [Deut. xv, 11.] 

After which the Elder shall give the fol- 
lowing Invitation, the People standing : 

If any man sin, we have an advocate 
with the Father, Jesus Christ the right- 
eous : and he is the propitiation for our 
sins : and not for ours only, but also for 
the sins of the whole world. 

Wherefore ye that do truly and ear- 
nestly repent of your sins, and are in love 
and charity with your neighbors, and in- 
tend to lead a new life, following the 
commandments of God, and walking from 
henceforth in his holy ways, draw near 
with faith, and take this Holy Sacrament 
to your comfort, and devoutly kneeling, 
make your humble confession to Al- 
mighty God. 

Then, shall this general Confession be 
made by the Minister in the name of all 
those who are minded to receive the 
Holy Communion, both he and all the 
People devoutly kneeling, and saying: 

Almighty God, Father of our Lord 
Jesus Chri>t, Maker of all things, Judge 
of all men, we acknowledge and bewail 
our manifold sins and wickedness, which 
we from time to time most grievously 
have committed, by thought, word, and 
deed, against thy Divine Majesty, pro- 
voking most justly thy wrath and indig- 
nation against us. We do earnestly re- 
pent, and are heartily sorry for these our 
misdoings; the remembrance of them is 
grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, 
have mercy upon us, most merciful Fa- 
ther ; for thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ's 
sake, forgive us all that is past; and 
grant that we may ever hereafter serve 
and please thee in newness of life, to the 
honor and glory of thy name, through 
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 

Then shall the Elder say, 

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, 
who of thy great mercy hast promised 
forgiveness of sins to all them that with 
hearty repentance and true faith turn 
unto thee, have mercy upon us ; pardon 
and deliver us from all our sins ; confirm 
and strengthen us in all goodness; and 
bring us to everlasting life, through Jesus 
Christ our Lord. Amen. 



502 



THE RITUAL. 



The Collect. 



Almighty God, unto whom all hearts 
are open, all desires known, and from 
whom no secrets are hid, cleanse the 
thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration 
of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly 
love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy 
name through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
Amen. 

Then shall the Elder say, 

We do not presume to come to this thy 
table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our 
own righteousness, but in thy manifold 
and great mercies. We are not worthy 
so much as to gather up the crumbs un- 
der thy table. But thou art the same 
Lord, whose property is always to have 
mercy : Grant us, therefore, gracious 
Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son 
Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that 
we may live and grow thereby ; and 
that, being washed through his most 
precious blood, we may evermore dwell 
in him, and he in us. Amen. 

Then the Elder shall offer the Prayer of 
Consecration asfolloiveth : 

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, 
who of thy tender mercy didst give thine 
only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death 
upon the cross for our redemption ; who 
made there, by his oblation of himself 
once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient 
sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction for 
the sins of the whole world ; and did in- 
stitute, and in his holy Gospel command 
us to continue, a perpetual memory of 
his precious death until his coming again : 
hear us, O merciful Father, we most 
humbly beseech thee, and grant that we, 
receiving these thy creatures of bread 
and wine, according to thy Son our Sav- 
iour Jesus Christ's holy institution, in 
remembrance of his death and passion, 
may be partakers of his most blessed 
body and blood ; who, in the same night 
that he was betrayed, 
took bread; 0) and Pfflere the Wd- 
when he had given er may take the 
thanks he broke it, and £&$*£* 
gave it to his disciples, 
saying, Take, eat ; this is my body which 
is given for you ; do this in "remem- 
brance of me. 

Likewise after supper ( 2 ) Here he may 
he took (2) the cup ; and take the cup in 
when he had given ^ " and - 
thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink 



ye all of this; for this is my blood oT 
the New Testament, which is shed for 
you, and for many, for the remission of 
sins ; do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, 
in remembrance of me. Amen. 

Then shall the Minister receive the Com- 
munion in both hinds, and proceed to 
deliver the same to the other Ministers, 
if any be present ; after which he shall 
say : 

It is very meet, right, and our bounden 
duty that we should at all times and in 
all places give thanks unto thee, O Lord, 
holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God. 

Therefore with angels and archangels, 
and with all the company of heaven, we 
laud and magnify thy glorious name, 
evermore praising thee, and saying, Holy, 
Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven 
and earth are full of thy glory. Glory 
be to thee, O Lord most high ! Amen. 

TJie Minister shall then proceed to ad- 
minister the Communion to the People 
in order, kneeling, into their uncovered 
hands; and when he delivereth the 
Bread, he shall say : 

The body of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
which was" given for thee, preserve thy 
soul and body unto everlasting life. Take 
and eat this in remembrance that Christ 
died for thee ; and feed on him in thy 
heart by faith, with thanksgiving. 

And the Minister that delivereth the Cup 
shall say : 

The blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
which was shed for thee, preserve thy 
soul and body unto everlasting life. 
Drink this in remembrance that Christ's 
blood was shed for thee, and be thank- 
ful. 

[If the Consecrated bread or wine be all 
spent before all have communed, the Elder 
may Consecrate more by repeating the 
Prayer of Consecration.] 

[When all have communed, the Minister 
shall return to the Lord's table and place 
upon it what remaineth of the Consecrated 
elements, covering the same with a fair 
linen cloth.] 

Then shall the Elder say the Lord's 
Prayer ; the People kneeling, and re- 
peating after him every petition. 



503 



Our Father who art in heaven, hal- 
lowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. 



THE RITUAL. 



Thy will be done in earth, as it is in 
heaven. Give us this day our daily 
bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as 
we forgive them that trespass against us : 
and lead us not into temptation, but de- 
liver us from evil : for thine is the king- 
dom, and the .power, and the glory, for- 
ever. Ame?i. 

After which shall be said as folloiveth : 

O Lord, our heavenly Father, we thy 
humble servants desire thy Fatherly 
goodness mercifully to accept this our 
sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; 
most humbly beseeching thee to grant, 
that, by the merits and death of thy Son 
Jesus Christ, and through faith in his 
blood, we and thy whole Church may 
obtain remission of our sins, and all other 
benefits of his passion. And here we 
offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our- 
selves, our souls and bodies, to be a 
reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice unto 
thee; humbly beseeching thee that all 
we who are partakers of this Holy Com- 
munion may be filled with thy grace and 
heavenly benediction. And although 
we be unworthy, through our manifold 
sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice, yet 
we beseech thee to accept this our bound- 
en duty and service ; not weighing 
our merits, but pardoning our offenses, 
through Jesus Christ our Lord; by 
whom, and with whom, in the unity of 
the Holy Ghost, all honor and glory be 
unto thee, O Father Almighty, world 
without end. Amen. 



Then 

Glory be to God on high, and on earth 
peace, good-will toward men ! We praise 

* " Gloria in Exceisis," see page 433, of this book. 
504 



thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we 
glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for 
thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly 
Kinu:, God the Father Almighty ! 

O Lord, the only begotten Son Jesus 
Christ: O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son 
of the Father, that takest away the sins 
of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou 
that takest away the sins of the world, 
have mercy upon us. Thou that takest 
away the sins of the world, receive our 
prayer. Thou that sittest at the right 
hand of God the Father, have mercy 
upon us. For thou only art holy ; thou 
only art the Lord ; thou only, O Chri.-t, 
with the Holy Ghost, ait most high in 
the glory of God the Father. Amen 

Then the Elder, if he see it expedient, 
may put vp an extemporary Prayer ; 
and afterward shall let the People de- 
part with this Messing : 

May the peace of God, which passeth 
all understanding, keep your hearts and 
minds in the knowledge and love of God, 
and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord : 
and the blessing of God Almighty, the 
Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be 
among you, and remain with you always. 
Amen. 

N. B.— If the Elder be straitened for 
time he may omit any part of the service 
except the invitation, the Confession and 
the Praver of Consecration ; and in its ad- 
ministration to the Sick he may omit any 
part of the service except the Confession, 
the Prayer of Consecration, and the usual 
Sentences in delivering the Bread and Wine, 
closing with the Lord's Prayer, extempore 
supplication, and the Benediction.
